It’s great then to see this hard work by University of Sunderland students documenting how our police force kept going through the pandemic.
CAPTURING REALITY START BUTTON PROFESSIONAL
Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, Kim McGuinness, whose Community Fund has helped fund the project once again, said: “The challenges of the last year have been truly life-changing for all of us, and that impact has been felt on both a personal and professional level. We are so proud of the students and their work and are incredibly grateful that we were able to continue our successful collaboration with Northumbria Police and its SARC, with the continued support of the Police Crime Commissioner.” She added: “These films are testimony to the students’ adept abilities and will remain now as a representation of a time in history that was challenging for us all.

“The work not only continues to showcase an ability to create professional and hard-hitting work that can be used for awareness and training purposes, but this year the work has reacted to a moment of history we have all been navigating for the past year.” “This year has certainly been challenging in trying to continue to create impactful work, however, the students have continued to showcase their determination and creativity in working on a brief relative to policing during coronavirus.

Ībigail Green (Stage three, Screen performance) Hikikomoriĭr Hulsmeier said: “Every year our students get so much out of working in collaboration with Northumbria Police and SARC. To attend the presentation, go to EventBrite. Hosted by Dr Adelle Hulsmeier, Senior Lecturer in Performing Arts and Programme Leader for Screen Performance, with speeches from the University’s Vice Chancellor, Sir David Bell, and the awards presented by Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Kim McGuiness. The students researched, scripted, devised, filmed and edited all five films themselves, with themes ranging from the mental health impact of lockdown, breaking the lockdown rules, how the virus has impacted students across the world, being a vulnerable patient and the impact of shielding, as well as experiencing online education during lockdown.Īn awards event has been organised on Thursday, June 24, online via Teams, to announce the winning film. This year’s theme proved challenging in many ways, with students not only living through the experience of the subject they were tackling, capturing a period of history in real time, but also having to ensure they were following the government’s Covid-19 guidelines to produce their films, which were often changing daily. Over the years the projects have addressed challenging issues such as county lines drug crime, male rape, modern-day slavery, the capacity to consent, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, and cyber-crime. Now in its 8th year, the annual short film partnership project with Northumbria Police and SARC (Sexual Assault Referral Centre), raises awareness about issues impacting on society through films created by final year Screen Performance, Performing Arts and Film production students.
