British film school becomes first-ever school to win all three Cilect awards for the world’s best student films.
The National Film & Television School (Nfts) has made history by winning all three Cilect awards, the film school equivalent of the Oscars.
Every year, the International Association of Film and Television Schools (Cilect) organises the awards to find the world’s best student films and the Nfts clean sweep is the first time it has happened in Cilect’s 58-year history.

This week, in a remarkable testament to their talent and expertise, they will be saluted as the best young film-makers in the world.
The school has already produced Oscar-winning alumni such as animator Nick Park and director Michael Radford. Now the Beaconsfield-based institution has been voted the world's best film school in an international poll of the major film training institutions around the globe.
