West Lothian high school students produce award winning short-film for Livingston's 60th celebrations
09.06.2022 - 15:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
St Margaret’s Academy in Livingston premiered a short film devoted to the school, the town, and their history, winning Best Film at the Livingston 60th documentary screening in the Howden Park Centre.
The Higher Media class at St Margarets produced the short film - led by their teacher Louise Sedgewick.
The event was a part of the ‘Livingston At 60’ screening, a film by Tomás Sheridan, and featuring the memories and stories of local people.
The documentary was commissioned by West Lothian Council Museums Service with funding from Museum Galleries Scotland to mark 60 years of the new town as it developed from a largely rural valley peppered with small-scale industry.
The event featured a number of short videos produced by local Livingston primary and high schools which used Livingston’s 60th birthday as a stimulus - with St Margarets taking home the title of ‘Best Film’.
Pupils that led the production of the film together were Alisha Dalrymple, Hassan Hamid, and Taylor Stirling - backed by the rest of the higher media class.
Hassan Hamid now looks to go on to do filmmaking and media at University.
The students and school were honoured with a commemorative plaque recognising their achievements.
The short film examined the history of St. Margarets and how it intertwines with the history of Livingston as a new town - and the central role St Margarets has played in the community.
It examined why the school was built, who it would serve in the community, and celebrates the people and alumni from St Margarets that have played a vital role in shaping Livingston into the town it is today.
The film was scored by a song from local artist and St Margarets alum Amy Bailey.
The school recently celebrated it’s 25th anniversary in 2019, and now
