YOUNG filmmakers hoping to make it in the movies are showcasing their work next week.

Students from Swindon College will be screening their work during a mini film festival at the Arts Centre in Devizes Road.

The short films were shot during the college's National Diploma in Moving Images course. Tutor Darren Rogers said: "The students have produced some really interesting, innovative work.

"This will be a great way for them to show their talents. We hope to have judges from the industry and higher education, and I would like to see this event develop into a real student film festival."

Mr Rogers hopes to get students from other colleges involved in future festivals.

Many of the films were collaborative efforts between the film department and performing arts students. Students learned film and audio-visual techniques as well as developing their critical skills.

The festival is on Monday, June 21.
