This week will see the launch of Durham's first ever film festival, with work shops, film-screenings and networking sessions all on the list. 

From 3rd-4th February, the Durham Student Film Society will be hosting a variety of events aimed at students interested in a media career and film-making. With a variety of short film-screenings, anyone curious as tothe film-making prowess of Durhamites  will be pleasantly suprised. Caleb Pike, one of the organisers, is the man behind the lens for Durham One's student cribs.
