Into Film Awards 2018: The Winners

The Into Film Awards 2018 took place on 13 March, at the prestigious BFI Southbank in London, with a star-studded red carpet event that brought together educators, young filmmakers, and Into Film Clubs from across the UK to celebrate their amazing achievements with us, each other, and incredible talent from across the film industry.

From exceptional young filmmaking talent to inspiring educators, nominees and guests flocked to the capital, some from as far afield as Banbridge in Northern Ireland and Gwynedd County in Wales. The Awards ceremony was hosted by presenter Gemma Cairney, and Awards were presented by a host of film industry talent, including actors Gemma Arterton, Martin Freeman, and Gwendoline Christie, as well as representatives from Warner Bros., Disney, Eon Productions and a host of other film industry insiders.

We'd like to extend a massive congratulations to all of our incredible winners and nominees, and say a big thank you to all of our Awards Partners and category sponsors.
