Training video producer Supernova won a Gold Award at this year's New York International Film and Video Festival. The Awards Ceremony took place on 30th January at Manhattan’s Tribeca Rooftop. The Annual Festival attracted entries from 31 countries.

Hove-based Supernova won the award in the human relations category with As Old as You Feel. The 10 min cartoon, with a commentary by Woman’s Hour’s Jenni Murray, promotes a positive approach to age in the workplace. It was written and produced by Supernova’s Vincent Thompson, with animation by Sarah Bird at Brighton-based Animnation.

Supernova director Vincent Thompson commented “I’m delighted that our DVD has received this recognition. Age discrimination at work is a problem for both young and old. We’ve set out to raise awareness and promote good practice in a witty way without being patronising”.
