Children’s and family films are to get their own dedicated category at the Bafta film awards.
The prize is open to any genre of film that Bafta says has a “specific inter-generational appeal to children, young people and adults”.
Films with a certificate rating of U, PG or 12A will be eligible.
It is the first new film category to be introduced by Bafta for five years, and will be awarded for the first time in 2025.
