NAHEMI stands for the National Association of Higher Education in the Moving Image, and represents all of the major film schools and film production courses from around the UK and Ireland. Each year we present a selection of the best films made by film students from both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and present awards for Creative Filmmaking, Cinematography and best Undergraduate Film. This programme presents the latest wave of new filmmaking talent from all over the country. There will also be a short Q&A panel with some of the student filmmakers present.
