Film shot in South Bristol café scoops huge international award

A short film shot at a café in St Anne's in Bristol and starring EastEnders legend Larry Lamb has been named the best worldwide film by the judges at a prestigious festival that is a qualifier for the Oscars.

Old Windows, which features Larry Lamb as a mysterious visitor to a café run by Laura Bayston, has been named the 'Best Fiction Film' at the Oscar qualifying 39th Tehran International Short Film Festival.

The accolade is huge as the festival received more than 5,000 films from 131 countries, and was one of just 64 to be chosen to be screened at the event - and was then named as the winner of those 64.
