Young people from across the county took to the red carpet again last week for the third annual Youth Films Oscar night.

Held at the Picton Centre in Haverfordwest, the Oscars-style event showcased 15 short films made by Pembrokeshire youth groups - the largest number of entries ever.

Over 100 young film-makers turned up for a night out celebrating their creativity on Friday.

A special panel of their peers judged the films with the winners announced on the night.

The evening's special guest was Pembrokeshire County Council vice-chairman, Clr. Anne Hughes.

She told the young audience that it was wonderful to see so many budding film-makers.

"Too often our youngsters get a bad press and it's good to know that so many of you are prepared to put in the hard work and effort needed to create such interesting and varied films," she said.

"As in previous years you have been very imaginative in your exploration of a range of issues.

"I have been very impressed with the quality of the productions."

Clr. Hughes presented the Best Overall Film Award to youngsters from Coastlands School, who also won Best Factual Film, for their film about healthy living.

Other category winners were Hubbeston and Hakin Youth Centre, which won Best Fictional Film for their black and white film about making the transition to adulthood.

Tenby Youth Centre won Best Comedy for a film about Gangs and Best Music Film for a work about the evolution of dance.

The Oscar night was organised by Pembrokeshire County Council's youth service to give youngsters an opportunity to display their work to a wider audience, as well as view productions made by others.
