NEW DELHI: To mark the 20th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child, Unicef, in a special package, has put together around 15 films made by children from India and overseas to be shown at the 16th International Children Film Festival (ICFF) in Hyderabad.

Unicef representative Karin Hulshof said that the films in the package had been made by child reporters on issues affecting them. She reflected that children were able to make better films when they were able to talk to other kids and adults candidly.

Children’s Film Society chairperson Nandita Das revealed that the festival will have 15 films in the international competition, 18 films including six from India in the Asian competition and 37 films in the non-competitive Children’s World, apart from the Unicef package and a German package.
