Well, another year and another festival over.

First off, thank you to all of you who visited us during the week, whether for the films, the workshops or 2^.4^.6^.8, we certainly hope that you enjoyed yourselves. Thank you to all of our sponsors, notably Destiny Church for opening up the venue for the festival once again. The Scottish Bible Society, for once again helping us make 2^.4^.6^.8 happen. Propeller TV, Hammerhead Facilities and Digital Video Magazine for giving the competitors a little extra to compete for. And last, but by no means least, all of the volunteers on the ground throughout the week making sure it actually happened - extra special tanks to all our technical staff who worked so hard to make sure everyone saw and heard the right thing at the right time.

Finally, congratulations to all our winners:

2007 Audience Award
A Cry From Iran directed by Joseph & Andre Hovsepian

"It's an honor for me and my brother Andre, as well as all the families of Iranian martyrs and persecuted ones, to win this award. I think the real credit and award has to go to my father, as he was the hero and role model for us.

I’m sure all the martyrs in Heaven also rejoice tonight with us.

Thank you to the Festival Jury and the audience for accepting our documentary among many other great submitted works.

God bless you."

The Leith Film Festival is...
a week-long, biannual, independent film festival held in Leith, Edinburgh.

The festival was founded in 2005 with the aim of providing a platform for independent filmmakers producing work dealing with spiritual and/or moral issues. It was started by film professionals, who have both experience of making films and producing film festivals, who are passionate about excellent film-making.

The festival also aims to support and encourage the growth of the film-making community. Through the week, film skills workshops are held. Led by proven, experienced and often award-winning industry professionals, the Film-making by Film-makers workshops provide those new, and old, to the industry, valuable tips, tricks and techniques. The week then culminates in its signature 2^.4^.6^.8 24 hour film competition.

Though the Leith Film Festival is hosted in a Christian church building and has been partnered by the Scottish Bible Society, our aim is not simply to provide a forum for Christian film makers, but to open the screen to all film makers who are exploring spiritual and moral issues. We want to make people think, to question the world in which they live and to make choices about how they live.

The Leith Film Festival venue is located at:

12 Casselbank Street, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 5HA, UK     map
