What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Scott is an ordinary father, who does not believe in Santa Claus, until a chance encounter results in him accidentally bumping off the big man himself. Scott soon discovers that there is a clause that means that he must now take on the duties of the role, much to the delight of his young son, Charlie. This seasonal comedy sees Scott learn the tricks of the trade, even as the rest of his family thinks he has gone mad. Slapstick comedy and a sentimental tone merge to create a fun, warmhearted romp that provides plenty of gentle laughs and Christmas cheer.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "

- Mark Ellis, Teacher, ChristChurch C of E Primary School, London
