After a staggering 618 entries to the 2020 Roughcut 60 Film Challenge - we are pleased to share the five winning films with you here.

First place overall and the £1000 prize went to Peter Kimball for his smart, dark and very funny animation Grace. The runner-up spots and prizes of £250 went to Matty McCabe for the surprisingly unnerving There’s No Such Thing as Monsters and The Big Secret by Fin Wallace.

In the Young People's Competition, our judges chose Lisa Salova's brilliant stop-motion animation The Beauty of Life as the overall winner. Congratulation Lisa, £250 is on its way to you!

Finally, in the Audience Award we received 2416 votes. The clear winner here was Sahil Yadav for his animation Acceptance, which received 605 votes. Sahil also wins £250.

You can watch the five winning films below - and if you'd like to view all fifty that made this year's shortlist, you can still watch them here.

We'd like to extend a huge thanks to our judging panel, the School of Film & Television at Falmouth University and WTW Cinemas for supporting this year's film challenge.

We'll be back next year with another film challenge. In the meantime, keep shooting - and support your local cinema!
