Tuhfah
Rushden is transformed into India's capital city in this short moral tale.
The title means gift but through the sending of a seemingly harmless present the film explores the murkier world of child exploitation in Indian.
It juxtaposes themes of child sponsorship and child labour through the eyes of a 10-year-old factory boy living in Mumbai.
Director Stacey Swift said: "Tuhfah captures the zeitgeist of contemporary economic morality with a twist. It highlights the social injustice of enforced child labour in a film that is original and dramatically engaging."
