THE red carpet has been rolled out and the winners have been crowned in the annual Dunbar Amazing Film Talent Awards (DAFTAs).

The awards, organised by Dunbar Film, feature as part of the town’s Civic Week and encourage young and old to create a short film.

More than 80 people visited Hallhill for the awards ceremony last month and to watch the shortlisted films before voting for their favourites.

There were 12 entries in the three different age categories and once again the standard of the entries was very high.

Ellen Stewart, Ruaridh Page and Cameron West scooped the award for under-12s with their short film ‘Angus and Jemima’s French Adventure’.

The film follows two pensioners, played by nine-year-olds, who head off for a holiday in Paris.

In the 12-16 year old category, it was Amabel Henderson’s In a House, which takes a look at what really goes on inside a Lego house, that impressed the judges.

And finally, Alan Hunter’s Simple Things – a tour of the East Lothian coastline filmed from a remote controlled drone and set to music – came out on top in the 16-plus category.

All the winners were presented with DAFTA clapperboard trophies and free sessions on the Foxfall Ropes Course, with the prize donated by Foxlake Adventures.
