Student film off on tour

AN EDINBURGH Napier graduate is celebrating after his documentary was accepted to two prestigious film festivals.

Pablo’s Winter, a tale of the Spanish mining industry, will have its world premiere this month at the DOK Leipzig festival in Germany, before heading to Amsterdam where it will be shown at the International Documentary Film Festival in the IDFA Competition for Student Documentary.

The documentary was created by Chico Pereira as part of the MFA Advanced Film Practice at Screen Academy Scotland, based at Napier.
