The Short Cinema Festival X Trophies Plus Medals

The Short Cinema Festival X Trophies Plus Medals

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with The Short Cinema, Leicester’s international short film festival, held annually at the Phoenix Cinema and Art Centre.

In June 2024, we had the privilege of supporting this incredible event and celebrating the creativity it showcases.


The Short Cinema Festival

The Short Cinema is a renowned film festival that began in the backroom of a pub as a platform for Midlands filmmakers.

Over the past eighteen years, it has grown into a major cultural event, celebrating both local talent and global filmmakers. Despite its growth, the festival has stayed true to its grassroots ethos, supporting local cinema while offering a stage for international talent.

This festival offers audiences a chance to experience creativity, innovation, and storytelling at its finest. Each year, a panel of judges—experts from the UK’s film and screen industries—select winners across categories such as Best Performance, Best Short Documentary, and Best Animated Short.

 

About the Partnership

To honour this year’s exceptional filmmakers, we provided bespoke UV printed awards. Crafted from responsibly sourced bamboo, the awards align with our shared values of sustainability and artistic recognition.

Alexzandra Jackson, producer of The Short Cinema, shared her appreciation:

"We are deeply grateful to Trophies Plus Medals for their generous sponsorship and for providing such high-quality trophies. Filmmaking is often a labour of love, and it's essential for us to honour that dedication with awards that convey respect and value. The exceptional quality of these awards reflects the high standards of our festival and the immense respect we hold for the filmmakers."

As a Leicester-based organisation, we’re proud to support an event that celebrates both local and international talent while staying committed to reducing environmental impact.

 

Our Shared Vision

The Short Cinema is more than a celebration of films; it’s a platform for powerful storytelling and a means to connect the creative community.

This aligns closely with the core values at Trophies Plus Medals, and here’s why it matters to us:

Fostering a Culture of Appreciation

We understand the importance of acknowledgment in motivating people to strive for excellence. Through our sponsorship, we not only celebrate artistic excellence but also contribute to building a culture where achievements are recognised and valued—something that has always driven our work at Trophies Plus Medals.
