Boost Literacy with our 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 Spring Screenings 2025. Once you've attended a spring 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 Spring Screenings are live now, and are on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay! The Spring Screenings are open to all UK schools and home educators.

There are two different categories for entry:

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

Two winners will be selected from each category, with each winning £100 worth of vouchers for 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 on the form which film you're reviewing!
