Student proves his editing is a cut above

A STUDENT from Edinburgh has been honoured at the BAFTA headquarters in London for producing a short film.

Matt Williams, 23, from Blackhall, will graduate from the BA (Hons) Film and Television course at the University of the Arts London next month.

He took the editor's role in the team which won Best Picture Award for the film Friedrich - a short documentary about the life and work of artist Friedrich Nagler.

It was the first time that the university has held the awards at the BAFTA headquarters. A total of ten films, including Friedrich, were screened.

Emily Caston, course director of the BA Film and Television course, said: "Every year the graduation films made by the students seem to get better and better."
