Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
Film reviewing can be an excellent tool to help boost literacy, and adds an extra educational element to visiting the Into Film Festival. Once you've attended a Festival screening, encourage your students to flex their English, comprehension and analytical skills, and write 300 words about the film they've seen.
This year's Into Film Festival takes place between 7-28 November 2025, and bookings will be live in early September. All events are completely free, and are on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to keep an eye out for when bookings go live and secure your places as soon as possible! The Into Film Festival is open to all UK schools and home educators.
This year we will look to reward five young review writers in the following age brackets:
- Primary - age 5-8
- Primary - age 9-11
- Secondary - age 11-13
- Secondary - age 14-15
- Secondary - age 16-19
The winners will each receive £100 worth of vouchers for them and their class to enjoy. Entries can be submitted via email or free-post. See the entry form below for further details on how to enter - just don't forget to tell us the name of the film you're reviewing on the form!
