For the last five years First Light Movies has hosted a star-studded awards ceremony, at the ODEON West End in London’s Leicester Square, to recognise the best of the year’s First Light Movies films.

The Awards have been dubbed the mini Oscars and are an amazing opportunity for the film industry to support and praise the achievements of the next generation of filmmakers.

This year was no different.

A galaxy of stars were to judge films made by young people from schools, youth groups and other organisations who were vying for awards in nine categories including Best Screenplay and Best Animation. This year’s crop of winners were revealed during the awards ceremony, supported by the UK Film Council, at the ODEON Leicester Square on 4 March. The ceremony was hosted by Big Brother presenter Davina McCall. Kevin Spacey, Sir Ian McKellen, Naomie Harris and Anna Popplewell were among those who attended the event.
