The National Film School also took home the Factual – Short-form prize for Simone James Documentary, and the Craft Awards for Sound (The Lesser Part) and Writing (How to Skin a Cheetah).

The Animation prize went to Ballyfermot College of Further Education for Tooth Be Told; Comedy and Entertainment to Technological University Dublin – City Campus (Robbie Rents a Room).

“The 2024 Student Awards showcased an exceptionally high level of talent and promise – the judges were blown away by this year’s entries,” said RTS Republic of Ireland Chair Agnes Cogan.
