Three Edinburgh graduates have been shortlisted for the BAFTA Scotland New Talent Awards 2009.
The Skillset Screen and Media Academy established between Edinburgh Napier University and Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) has been recognised with three nominations in the awards.
Previously called Screen Academy Scotland, the body for postgraduate study was recently renamed a `Skillset Screen and Media Academy' as part of a network of five other academies specialising in film and broadcast media across the UK.
Three graduates from the course have been shortlisted, two in the factual category and one in the fiction category of the BAFTA New Talent Awards.
The awards celebrate emerging talent in Scotland and aim to promote and inspire that talent in Scottish film, broadcast and digital media.
Edinburgh Napier MFA advanced film practice graduate Catrionna MacInnes is acknowledged for her writing, direction and production talents for her fictional work "I'm In Away From Here". Johanna Wagner and Amy Rose, ECA, were shortlisted in the factual category for "The Inner Shape" and "Kirran and the Hatchmaker".
As well as these three nominations, six undergraduate students on the film and tv programme at ECA have been nominated for new talent awards.
The awards ceremony is to take place on March 13, at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.
