“Tha FilmG a’ toirt cothrom air leth dhan òigridh againn an cuid Ghàidhlig a chleachdadh ann an dòigh chruthachail is mhacmeanmnach. Chan e a-mhàin gu bheil e a’ toirt cothrom dha na sgoilearan a’ Ghàidhlig a chleachdadh taobh a-muigh an t-seòmair-theagaisg, ach tha e cuideachd a’ toirt cothrom dhaibh eòlas a chur air saoghal film/tbh is craolaidh, agus math dh’fhaodte gum brosnaich seo iad nuair a bhios iad a’ taghadh nan dreuchdan aca san àm ri teachd.”

Thurso High pupils are ‘inspirational’ winners at FilmG

Pupils of Thurso High School have lifted the under 18 “Inspiration Award” at this year’s prestigious Gaelic short film competition.

The pupils were presented the prize at the event in the Lomond Auditorium of the SEC in Glasgow on Friday 23 February to an audience of almost 500 filmmakers, industry professionals, and FilmG devotees.

Thurso High School won the new Inspiration Award in the under 18 competition for their film, ‘Ar Sealladh aig Àrd-sgoil Inbhir Theòrsa’, a documentary that explores the views of Thurso’s teachers and pupils on Gaelic medium education.

Chair of The Highland Council’s Gaelic Committee Cllr Clum Munro said: “A huge congratulations to all the Highland winners at FilmG this year and also to the many other schools and individuals who took part and entered.

“FilmG provides a great opportunity for our young people to use their Gaelic in a creative and imaginative way to great effect. It not only gives pupils the chance to use Gaelic outside of the classroom but also to experience the world of film/tv and broadcasting which will no doubt inspire many of those taking part in their future career choices.”

Other individual Highland prize winners were:

• Inverness filmmaker Rachel Urquhart who won the Technical Excellence Award (18+) for her work on her documentary, ‘Còisir – Mgr M!’, about the impact of Mr MacMillan and his choir at Inverness Gaelic Primary School.
• The Rionnag Award (-18), for the best off-screen contribution, went to polyglot Jasmine Krzyzanowska-Pawlak from Millburn Academy in Inverness – who is learning Gaelic as her third language – for her camera work on ‘Sealladh na Bànrigh’.
