Update - Into Film Awards 2020 Postponement
Due to Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Into Film have taken the difficult decision that the Into Film Awards 2020 will not take place as planned next week.
This is a key event for Into Film and we looked forward to welcoming 800 guests to the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square on 18 March 2020. However, after careful consideration of the developing situation, and advice issued by the Government and Public Health England, it was apparent that going ahead could pose a risk to the health and wellbeing of those in attendance.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. We would like to thank you for your understanding and continued support for Into Film.
