Here’s a round up about the School’s annual showcase and awards ceremony, held on 23rd February, LUMAS 2016. It was organised by the committee at Lincoln School of Film & Media, led and hosted by our 2015 Graduate events assistant Richard Rumble.

The glittering black tie evening included screenings of short films, photography, audio work, and animations by students and graduates. Sarah Barrow, Head of the School of Film and Media, said: “As seen through the submissions, showreels and displays at the event, the LUMAS is a fantastic celebration of student creativity, teamwork and achievement, as well as the way staff and students worked together to make the showcase happen.
I never fail to be impressed by what they can achieve. We’re also incredibly grateful to our guests, supporters and sponsors for their commitment, and I must also say a thank you to The Engine Shed’s technical team for their hard work.”
The introduction for Best Production came from former Warner Bros Senior Vice-President for Business and Legal Affairs in Europe, Middle East and Africa, Rick Senat. Rick spearheaded negotiations for the rights for films including the Harry Potter franchise. Speaking to students at the event, he said: “I am often asked by students what they should be doing in the industry to make a name for themselves. After seeing the work here, I think it should be me asking you the questions.”
