Young people from across the county took to the red carpet recently for the first annual Youth Films Oscar night. Held at the Picton Centre in Haverfordwest, the Oscars-style event showcased nine short films made by Pembrokeshire youth groups. Over 30 young film-makers turned up for a night out celebrating their creativity on Saturday. A special panel of their peers judged the films, with the winners announced on the night. Winner of Best Overall Film was the PTXL Group based at Neyland PRU. Clr. Islwyn Howells, cabinet member for children and young people, praised the creativity on show. "Films are part of our modern day culture and particularly relevant to young people," he said. "Evenings like this show how much it can inspire their ingenuity. We hope that this event will be the first of many encouraging them to develop their film-making talent." The Oscar night was organised by Damian Golden and Nick Hudd from 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. Other winners included: The Pride Project, based at Neyland - Best Special Effects and Best Script awards. The Milford Haven Boys Youth Room Group - Best Effort for a Film. The Priory Learning Centre Project based at Monkton - Best Acting. Neyland Youth Centre - Best Humour in a Film. For more information, contact the Youth Service on 01646 600614.
