The students showed still and moving images employing a variety of art, documentary and commercial approaches. The panel was impressed by a compelling, interactive video installation depicting features of urban technological infrastructure, as well as a photo essay on bespoke craftsmanship, powerful black and white images of women boxers, allegorical portraits featuring native and introduced flora, penumbral, dream-like landscapes evoking a woman’s changing identity over her life, and stylised, theatrical tableaux representing the emotional drama of human relationships, to mention just some of the highlights.
