    Opening shot of the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA), with a close-up of a poster that reads ‘2024 Undergraduate Showcase’. This is followed by short clips featuring:

    • The exterior of ACCA
    • ACCA’s interior spaces, including the building’s state-of-the-art auditorium
    • Guests engaging with student work on display, including photography, videography and audio
    • Guests mingling with one another in the ACCA Café

    An interview with Max Kirkillo-Stacewicz, a student and attendee of the showcase, standing in the ACCA Café.

    Max: “It’s incredibly cathartic to finally have this space where all of your assignments are finished, where you can simply sit back, relax and have a more casual chat with your tutors about your work. About your career afterwards, also, and general advice really.”

    Shot of a student playing the piano on the ACCA auditorium stage.

    This is followed by a compilation of other students performing on stage, alongside some excerpts from student films and footage of guests sitting in the auditorium audience.

    More footage of the ACCA’s Gardner Tower, in which a range of student photography is on display. Guests point at various pieces of work, and some watch student films on Macbooks. A group of students take their picture in front of their work that is on display.

    An interview with Freddie Freeman, another student attending the showcase, standing in the interior of the ACCA entrance.

    Freddie: “It’s a really nice atmosphere, a good amount of people. The event seems to be going quite well. I think there’s a lot of good artwork on display. It’s a lovely atmosphere, very chill, easy going. I think it’s such a nice thing to do, especially when the weather’s been so good today. I think it’s a lovely little ‘closing the book on it’ type of deal.”

    An interview with Joss Hamer and his friend. Both students are stood on the green outside ACCA.

    Joss: “There’s music, there’s films. Like, what’s not to love? Do you know what I mean?”

    Guests explore the various showcase spaces. Some groups of attendees laugh together in the ACCA Café.

    A series of clips from student films, some of which are animated, and more footage of the performances taking place on the ACCA auditorium stage.

    A shot of the 2024 Undergraduate Showcase programme and the A-board poster advertising the showcase that sits outside the ACCA.

    The video ends on a blue screen with the University of Sussex logo in the centre.
