The Award for Best Scottish Film
The Jury’s Statement: An artfully assembled montage of animation, archive and original footage that lends an ear to lesser heard stories of rural Scottish youth. By all accounts a crowd pleaser for the jury. This film was a firm favourite.

Through interviews inspired by traditional oral storytelling, these young people share their thoughts on the past, present and future of their home and culture. These are their accounts
