As this year’s Motion Plymouth festival gets ever nearer, we’ve been talking to MP co-director Katie Thompson about the event’s swanky awards ceremony.

It’s set to be the first private shindig held at Plymouth’s unique and innovative Roland Levinsky Building, which has been nominated for a major architectural award this year.

Katie told D+CFilm: “This is going to be a reception like no other, with a Hollywood feel.

“Our guests will be treated like celebrities and they’ll be able to walk around movie-themed installations.

“It is a red-carpet Oscar-style ceremony, as it is the prize-giving celebration for the entrants of the Motion Plymouth Movie Competition.”  

Taking place on Saturday, November 17 at 8pm, the event will see the winning filmmakers getting their mitts on a prestigious Frankie gong. Oh yes.

While we’re here, let’s have a look at another of last year’s Motion Plymouth winners - Nick Ward’s Super 8-shot short Denise At Sixteen.
