2012 D’Oscars Film Awards
Junior School Students’ Creativity Shines at Inauguaral D’Oscars
Dulwich College Shanghai’s inaugural D’Oscars was
purposefully scheduled to take place at the same time as
that other major literary event in Shanghai - the Shanghai
International Literary Festival - and alongside our own
Book and Film Week. The vision behind the event was
to capture the imagination of our Junior School students
through literacy, storytelling and film, made all the more
exciting by its setting within an environment of competition
and collaboration.
Students could enter in several categories: groups, classes,
year-groups or families. Learning objectives associated
with the project were integrated into the Term 2 curriculum
map, thus allowing the children to develop their English,
storytelling and IT skills alongside a whole host of other
curriculum links.
Each year group was given a film category to interpret in
their own way, linking into the curriculum map for this
term. Each class then produced their own film or films, with
a final entry selected as the submission in their year group
category for the final judging. The films were then sent to
the judges who selected three finalists, two runners-up
and one overall winner.
