Edinburgh Teens Win Film Award

Six young filmmakers from Edinburgh stunned the industry by winning Best Film at the Into Film Awards with “What’s in a Bowl?” — a heartfelt story of a Chinese immigrant teen wrestling with homesickness and identity, anchored by his grandmother’s noodle recipe. Made through a partnership with Screen Education Edinburgh and the BFI Academy, the film was celebrated at a star-studded ceremony in London, hosted by Konnie Huq and featuring Peter Capaldi, Jason Isaacs, and Jodie Whittaker. One of the creators, Alice Chen, shared how deeply personal the project was, drawing from her own immigrant journey and emphasizing the power of finding belonging within oneself. This year’s awards saw record submissions and introduced new categories like Innovation in Filmmaking and Best Film Review, reflecting the expanding talent and creativity of young UK filmmakers. The win highlights a growing movement to embed creative education in every child’s learning — giving young voices the tools to tell their stories and connect with the world.
