Hull International Short FIlm Festival - winners

A little late in publishing the award winners for the Hull International Short Film Festival, but better late than never. I was lucky enough to visit the festival a few years back (when I first came across Virgil Widrich) and have always held the city in the very highest regard ever since, in spite of many a poll claiming otherwise. If you ever go - check out an awesome all-you-can-eat veggie buffet called Hitchcocks and if you can get to a Hutt Street party, then you can say you have lived. Anyway, to the awards..
