16 July 10 . the fifth day - the final

The final day of the workshop started early. Everybody finalized their films, and gathered them on the laptop we would use for screening. Paddy worked hard to burn DVDs with all our films, which is still a work-in-progress. After eating our yummy sandwiches for the last time, we set up a table for the food and the drinks for the guests, who started to show up shortly after 1.30. We started the show at 2.15. Each film was reviewed right after the screening. The participants got the chance to get feedback not only from Hugh Campbell and Kevin Donovan who were our official reviewers but also the audience who were mainly UCD Architecture staff and students. We are grateful to our reviewers and everyone who came. We asked everyone to nominate the best three films for our 'Oscar'. Here are the results:

1 Running Time by Ronan & Sinead (29 points)
2 Architectural Analogue by Eleanor & Lynda (27 points)
2 Opposite Trinity Crafts by Amy, Colm & Eoin (27 points)
2 in the valley of Eaves by Eimear, Francis & Hugh (27 points)

We continued partying after the guests left. The group photo includes everyone but Pierre. Some of us went to a pub in Ranelagh to continue this fun day.

I would like to thank Paddy, Paola, Amy, Colm, Eoin, Aisling, Ann-Marie, Ronan, Sinead, Wendy, Kate, Michael, Eleanor, Lynda, Lisa, Pierre, Eimear, Francis, and Hugh for a great week full of ideas, inspiration, film and fun. I am sure some of the people in this group will continue working and/or having fun together.
