The winners of ‘Five minutes of Leuven’, a short film competition for and by Leuven students were announced on 6 April. Applied Economics student Na Qi won first prize as well as the award for best camera handling with her film Lost in Leuven.
‘Five minutes of Leuven’ invited students – either individually or in groups – to make short films depicting Leuven in a creative way. The budding filmmakers were first given the opportunity to participate in a number of workshops organised by the Service for Media and Learning (formerly AVNet), to become acquainted with various aspects for filmmaking. After learning the secrets of direction, scriptwriting, editing, image, sound, lighting and acting, they were given one week to produce a film lasting a maximum of five minutes. They were allowed to use the material and infrastructure of the Service for Media and Learning and to appeal to the know-how of the service’s experts. The best films were awarded during a ceremony at De Valk.
Applied Economics student Na Qi won first prize and the award for best camera handling with her film Lost in Leuven. Lisa Haezebrouck won the awards for best editing and best acting. The duo of Jela Desfossés and Kaatje Michiels won both the audience award and the award for ‘most beautiful moment’.
