Aidan Smith awarded "Best Music" for It's Nick's Birthday score

We are most proud to announce that the Institute's staff composer Aidan Smith has been awarded "Best Music" for his It's Nick's Birthday score at La Cabina Medium-Length Film Festival, Valencia.

Whilst the Institute's staff were too thinly spread over other award ceremonies, diplomatic functions etc., to attend the prize-giving in Valencia, it has been reported that on being told the news privately Mr Smith responded with modesty, gratitude, and bouts of nervous mock-boasting followed by fierce self-degradation and an unsureness about where to look.

Mr Smith's solo work can be appreciated here, with his nightwear/pop outfit Pyjama Party represented here.

(Here follows a music video the Institute made with Mr Smith some years back).

It's Nick's Birthday honoured at IndieLisboa'09

It's Nick's Birthday received a Special Mention from the Jury at the 6th IndieLisboa International Independent Film Festival, at the awards ceremony last Saturday night.

Barely more than a greyish-brown speck in the massive auditorium of Lisbon's art deco Cinema São Jorge, our representative Mr Cole made his way up on stage to collect the menção honrosa in the style of the film - stumbling, flickering and slightly out of tune with himself.

The full list of awards is available for perusal here.
