Boost Literacy with our Into Film Festival Review Writing Competition

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.

Bookings for the free Into Film Festival are live now, and are on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay! The Festival is open to all UK schools and home educators.

There are three different categories for entry:

  • Primary (for those at primary school aged 5-11)
  • Secondary (for those at secondary school aged 11-16)
  • Sixth form (for those aged 16-19)

One winner will be selected from each category, and entries can be submitted via email or free-post. See the application form below for further details on how to enter - just don't forget to tell us on the form which film you're reviewing!

The final day for entries is Thursday 12 December 2024. The winning review in each category will win £200 of vouchers for their class to enjoy.
