Annual Police Film Awards

The Police Short Film awards project is a partnership between the office of Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner and the University of Sunderland which raises awareness about issues impacting society through films created by final year Screen Performance, Performing Arts and Film Production students.

Over the last 13 years, the projects have addressed challenging issues like county line drug crime, knife crime, male rape, modern-day slavery, domestic violence, cybercrime and hate crime.

This year, students have been asked by the office of Northumbria PCC to look at the issue of stalking and its impact on victims and their families and friends.
