More than half of UK schools engage with Into Film's programme of Into Film Clubs, special cinema screenings, educational resources and training to support classroom teaching. Into Film aims to provide 5- to 19-year-olds with opportunities to learn about and with film and develop a passion for cinema.
Into Film runs two flagship annual events: The Into Film Festival, which enables more than 400,000 children and young people to access the cinema for free, and the Into Film Awards, which celebrates the filmmaking and learning achievements of pupils and educators from across the UK.
Into Film also engages in ongoing educational research, including live action-research projects in schools, to provide evidence of the impact on pupil engagement and attainment when teaching and learning with film.
