The Media Studies Department rolled out the red carpet on Thursday 20 August for its annual Oscars Evening, celebrating the best Year 12 narrative music videos and Year 13 short films of 2026.
The staffroom was packed with students and their friends and whānau, who came together to enjoy an evening showcasing the creativity, technical skill and hard work behind this year’s productions.
The evening culminated in an awards ceremony recognising achievements across categories including Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Acting and Best Production Design.
The top award for Best Year 12 Narrative Music Video went to Angie Proskurina and Lisa Zhang for Poison, which follows a detective on the hunt for a femme-fatale thief.
Best Year 13 Short Film went to Frankie Feeney, Keira McAven and India Smyth for Faith In You, a short horror film about two girls who accidentally join a cult – with severe consequences.
Congratulations to all the students recognised on the night and to everyone who brought their creativity and filmmaking skills to the screen.
