Yesterday we returned to the Into film Awards, this year hosted at Odeon Luxe, Leicester Square. The awards are in their 5th year, and again showcase some of the brightest young talent from around the country.

In their own words: Young people aged 5 – 19 have been submitting short films they have made in school, youth clubs or at home, across live action, documentary and animation categories, with the winners set to be awarded at a star-studded ceremony hosted by TV presenter Radzi Chinyanganya. Along with celebrity presenters: Andy Serkis, Luke Evans, Hugh Bonneville, Bill Nighy, Nico Mirallegro, Layton Williams, Ruby Barnhill, Nico Parker, Tom Davies, Sophie Skelton, Rhianna Dillon, Tom Taylor and Michael Pearce.

We were on the red carpet once more, see our interviews from 2017 and 2018 here.

David Sztypuljak and Scott Davis conducted these interviews.

The winners and nominees (with link to watch the nominated films) follow our red carpet interviews.
