First Light Movies
Launched in 2001 by the UK Film Council, First Light Movies is a Lottery-funded initiative enabling young people between the ages of 5 and 18 to write, act, shoot and produce around 100 films per year.
In partnership with First Light Movies since 2004, the ICO have developed an exhibition strategy for films made under the First Light Movies scheme. We make a wide selection of films made by children and young people accessible to cinemas, film festivals and other exhibitors.
We watch each First Light Movies film, looking for something special. Whether it is a difficult subject handled with startling maturity or a wildly imaginative use of animation, the films we select always surprise, delight and inspire. See our current recommendations…
First Light Movies films are shown at festivals nationally and internationally. See details of the latest screenings…
If you are interested in programming the films or would like further information, please contact Zoe Naylor on 020 7079 0476 or email us.
