THE BURNHAM FILM FESTIVAL 2020
At this time of year The Young Theatre often holds its biennial drama competition, The Burnham Trophy, when the group is sub-divided into teams; each tasked with devising, writing, producing, staging and performing an original one-act play based on a given theme.
In 2020 — thanks to the novel coronavirus pandemic — this competition had to be replaced by something which members could produce during lockdown and apparently, we have a number of budding film makers in the group. Members had to come up with a three minute film on the subject of the year they were allocated using only the resources they had at home. The films were published on YouTube on 17-May-2020 and the adjudication is shown under 'Result'.
Unfortunately, the group was unable to hold an AGM in 2020 so the Burnham Trophy was never awarded for this competition.
