Following a rigorous selection process six LSBU students have had their films accepted by a panel of experts to be screened at the festival. Festival Director Sophie Coates, who is studying Arts and Festival Management at LSBU, said: "We are extremely proud of the film submissions we have received this year, the creativity and quality of the films have by far exceeded our expectations.
"LSBU have supported Screentest for the last five years, paving the way for aspiring film-makers around the country. It is such an honour to give students who have the potential to make an impact in such a tough industry, a platform to showcase their work and also network with like-minded creators and industry experts."
