Dudley College of Technology hosted our 2026 Film Festival on Tuesday, 16th June. The festival showcased shortlisted student work for horror productions, final projects, animation, short film, documentary and still images. Winners of the categories were given awards based on the technical quality of their work along with scriptwriting, creativity and working to professional standards. The work showcased in the festival was, as usual, of a high standard. The college is very proud of what all students studying Creative Media have achieved this year.
