The National Association for Higher Education in the Moving Image presents: 

• Talking Shop: The second Nahemi conference about the teaching of practice in higher education with topics on the relationships between the creative practice and the teaching of screenwriting; the impact of digital SLR cameras on creative practice and the awkwardnesses of film-making practice as research.

• Eat Our Shorts: The 9th student film showcase with a selection of this year's documentary, fiction and animation films from Nahemi member schools and departments. The programme will be introduced and discussed by the filmmakers. 

• The AGM will start at 10.30 on 6th July at University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, W1B 2UW. All members are welcome.
