Children’s Resilience in Film Awards

The first-of-its-kind award honors the preeminent filmmakers who masterfully highlight and celebrate the inspiring strength, creativity, and power of children across the world. Amidst an ongoing pandemic that has disrupted everyday life and social-emotional development for billions of children globally and a humanitarian crisis that has forced hundreds of thousands of children and families to flee Ukraine, the Children’s Resilience in Film Award seeks to shed much-needed light on the uplifting, inspiring stories of children who offer global audiences hope and the talented filmmakers who tell them.

The inaugural 2022 Children’s Resilience in Film Award was sponsored in part by The Hollywood Reporter, a media partner, which will uplift these powerful, culture-shifting films to receive the recognition they deserve.  Four nominees, all feature length films released in the last year, were selected. An esteemed jury composed of leading film industry experts, children’s rights activists, selected the winner. The four nominees screened their films in New York City from September 15th to 18th. The winner LIFT was announced at a VIP awards show breakfast in Los Angeles, California and was awarded a $25,000 cash prize, with the runner-up films each receiving $2,500.
