Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
With exams wrapping up and timetables shifting, this month we're putting a spotlight on our Save the Shoot: Careers Challenge resource, which is a ready-to-use activity that gives learners aged 13-16 the chance to step into real production roles and tackle practical challenges.
From planning and scheduling, to marketing and decision-making, whatever their subject and career interests, this resource will help learners to develop the essential skills that are in-demand across the screen industries and beyond.
The resource works equally well in English, STEM, art, business, PSHE, careers and enrichment contexts, and is flexible enough that it can run as a full careers day or as selected individual elements in lessons or tutor time.
Download the resource below, and keep scrolling for more careers resources and events to take advantage of this June.
