The motion

That the Parliament commends the organisers, nominees and winners of the 2023 Doric Film Festival, which took place on 16 June at Robert Gordon University; understands that the theme for this year’s event was “Dinna Pit Aff”, with respective awards for individuals, groups and schools to participate in; notes that the Primary School category was won by Kirkhill Primary, based in Kincorth, Aberdeen, while Torry Heritage Group won the Smeddum Prize in the Groups category; further understands that “smeddum” has a Doric meaning of “spirit, vigour and resourcefulness”, reflecting the efforts of the Torry Heritage Group to win the award; recognises what it sees as the importance of these events to promote and encourage the continued use of Doric and local Scottish dialects; congratulates all nominees and award winners, and passes on its best wishes for further success in future Doric Film Festival events.
