ORPINGTON VIDEO & FILM MAKERS
After many years of endeavour, the Orpington Video and Film Makers have finally won the one trophy that has always eluded them - the Staines Silver Salver.
In past years, the club has finished second and on a few occasions, third at several other attempts and sometimes nowhere!
This year the club entered a film called Remember' made by Reganna Productions. The film recalls the destruction of a French village Orandour Sur Glane in 1944 by an SS division on its way to Normandy to repel the allied landings.
As witness to this barbarity, as there were only two survivors, General de Gaulle ordered that the village should remain in ruins as a reminder for future generations.
The judges and the audience, that included the Mayor and her consort who presented the Silver Salver, were all moved by the deeply emotional content of this film.
