The festival has been going since 1999 and shows a diverse range of films, as well as holding workshops, masterclasses and drop-in sessons for young people to find out about film-making. To find out more about the festival, visit the Showcomotion website.
This year, UNICEF UK worked with Showcomotion to present awards for films made on the theme of children's rights. UNICEF UK's Youth Officer, Hannah Jones, was there to present the awards.
The UNICEF UK Youth Award was a competition for young film-makers aged 11 to 18, and was won by Remix, a group of young people from the Sheffield Multiple Heritage Service.
Their winning short, produced by Sheffield Independent Film, was a 20-minute documentary about being a mixed-race teenager, caught between two cultures.
The second UNICEF UK Award was a competition for film-makers aged 19+, and was a tie between three films made for young people.
