More than 20 short film-makers were awarded prizes at the fifth National Gaelic Film Awards ceremony.
The annual FilmG competition was celebrated in Glasgow last night at the Gaelic screen awards, run by MG Alba the media service for the language, held at The Arches venue.
This year's theme for films between three and five minutes was Acras/Miann (Hunger/Desire), in both the 12 to 17 age-group and adult category, with 62 films being submitted.
In the younger age group, winners included students from Oban High School, Greenfaulds High School in Cumbernuald, Tain Royal Academy, Portree, Ardnamurchan and Tobermory High Schools, Grange Academy in Kilmarnock, Dingwall Academy, Broadford on Skye and the Nicolson Institute on the Isle of Lewis.
The best community film in the adult section went to Na Gaisgich Acrach (The Hungry Heroes) made on the Isle of Skye while best drama went to Michelle Size, who lives in Edinburgh, for her film A' coiseachd nam Bhrogan (Walking in my Shoes).
The best factual film went to Rachel Stridgeon from the Isle of Skye, for her film Dè an Còrr a dh'iarras Mise? (What More Could I Wish For).
Donald Ewan Mackinnon, of the band Macanta, won best performance, best music video, and the FilmG theme award.
Donald Campbell, chief executive of MG Alba, said: "This year's FilmG has been very exciting with a number of budding film-makers and schools taking part for the first time.
"The quality of films continues to impress our judging panel and we are encouraged by the enthusiasm for FilmG and the level of talent that it uncovers."
