At the ninth annual Bridge Film Festival in New York, open to student film-makers from Quaker schools worldwide, films from thirty schools around the world were shown. Ackworth's production, about semantics and the increasing redundancy of the dictionary, won a place among the thirteen runners-up.

Ackworth's film had a postmodern perspective, offering the viewer a collection of ideas rather than a chronological plot. The main aim of the film was to alert the audience to the diminishing vocabulary and
misuse of language in contemporary society, as well as to highlight serious current social issues such as the damaging influence of celebrity on young people.

The Bridge Film Festival accepts films relating to or guided by Quaker principles of truth, community,equality and peace, offering a platform for depicting the Quaker ideals in action. The winning film was 'Awakening' from Tandem Friends School in Charlottesville, Virginia.
