INTO FILM AWARDS 2017 ANNNOUNCED
Celebrating young people’s creativity in filmmaking and reviewing, and Innovative Use of Film by Educators
The Into Film Awards are back for 2017 as Into Film sets out to find the best young filmmakers, reviewers, film clubs and teachers of the past twelve months - this year with the support of education partner NATE. Now in its third year, The Awards pay tribute to 5 – 19 year olds from across the UK who have demonstrated exceptional achievements in filmmaking and film reviewing, and to teachers who have demonstrated inspirational use of film in class. The Into Film Awards ceremony will take place at ODEON Leicester Square in London on Tuesday 14th March and is presented by film education organisation Into Film, which is supported by the BFI through Lottery funding.
Designed to recognise, showcase and celebrate young people’s involvement in film and education, the star-studded, red-carpet event will bring together film industry professionals and young people to shine a spotlight on the filmmaking achievements of 5-19 year olds from across the UK, as well as recognising teachers’ use of film in the classroom, young film reviewers and exceptional film clubs in primary and secondary schools. The Awards ceremony is made possible with support from the film industry through sponsorship.
There are 16 awards to be won in 13 categories, including eight filmmaking sub-categories in live action, documentary and animation, alongside Reviews of the Year, Teacher of the Year and Film Clubs of the Year. A new guest category for 2017 has been added in association with the UK Space Agency. Following the success of the filmmaking competition Into Film: Into Space, which saw British ESA Astronaut Tim Peake watch young people’s short films in space on board the ISS, part two of the competition, titled Into Film: Into Space & Home, invites young people to make short films inspired by Tim Peake’s space adventures and return to Earth.
Schools, organisations and individuals can enter and the deadline for applications is 31 January 2017. For information on how to enter, and to access filmmaking tips and resources, visit: http://www.intofilm.org/awards
