Shenzhen Experimental School has won two first-prize awards and a second-prize award in the 2019 Guangdong Campus Film Contest.

“The Wind in the Wheat Fields,” developed and produced by teachers and students from the Senior High School Department of the school, claimed the first prize in the short-film category of the contest.

It focuses on teenagers’ mental health problems, featuring a story of how a stressful high school student solves her problem with love and caring from others.

“Be Safe, Dad,” a short film that features a girl’s story of looking for her father, won the second prize.

“Childhood With One Fewer Exam Paper” won the first prize in the documentary section of the contest. It focuses on the all-round education of the Primary School Department of Shenzhen Primary School and filmed the final examinations of grades one, two and three, in which students were required to find a golden key to save Snow White in activities in a “fairy tale village” instead of answering questions on exam papers.

Overall, it aims to depict a new educational ecology in the school and displays the school’s exploration of new possibilities in education.
