Into Film is a new Lottery-funded education charity founded by previous film education charities, FILMCLUB and First Light. Into Film aims to bring opportunities for watching, making and understanding film to all 5-19 year olds.

Through Into Film teachers can access free DVD rental, learning resources linked to Curriculum for Excellence, CPD and training, support for setting up a film club or filmmaking activities, and exciting opportunities for pupils including in-school visits, free cinema screenings and a talent development programme.

Learning through film is an exciting and innovative way to engage with pupils and is very relevant to Curriculum for Excellence.

Several schools across East Lothian are already involved in Into Film and it would be great to get more schools benefiting from this free education programme.

Into Film is free to join and you can find out more information about the bespoke programme in Scotland at www.intofilm.org/scotland. For more information or to register email support@intofilm.org or call 0207 288 4520.
