Film of the Decade

First Light is a Lottery-funded charity supported by the UK Film Council. Its aim is to help young people develop their skills in all aspects of film-making, including animation. Since its launch in 2001 it has helped 40,000 youngsters aged five to nineteen try out their skills and make 1000 films (title link). On Tuesday it held its annual First Light Awards at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London. And what did BBC News report? That Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) was named Film of the Decade (CLICK). This is the third of the Potter franchise, in which Daniel Radcliffe looks stern, Rupert Grint as confused as ever and Emma Watson sports a new bust, wears pink, gets injured and has a bad hair day. Interesting choice, but I'm sure Time Warner doesn't need the publicity. What about the amateur winners, BBC? Anything worth putting on TV?
