Following on from the successful 2016 Research in Film Awards, the AHRC is launching its 2017 Awards to find new and emerging talent that straddle the worlds of both filmmaking and arts and humanities research.

They may include reconstructions and enactments, animations, installations and gallery pieces, games, interactive storytelling or co-produced work including collaborations with community groups, and may take the form of documentaries, visual essays or broadcast programmes.

Awards will be made in five categories and the winner of each category will win £2,000 to be invested in their future filmmaking activities.

  • Best Doctoral or Early Career Film
