The winner of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality Derek Oyston film prize for the film which best reflects CHE's aims and objectives has been won by Darling! The Pieter-Dirk Uys Story (Australia 2007. Dir Julian Shaw). The award commemorates a major donor to CHE, Derek Oyston, who lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and thanks to his legacy the winning film-maker Julian Shaw will receive a cheque of £2,000 to go towards his next project.

To celebrate this inaugural award winner we have arranged this extra screening of the film and an accompanying short.
