The annual Into Film Festival takes place from November 4 to 20, with a host of screenings, workshops and resources available for secondary students. Sam Wilson previews the event

“As the French teacher I took my year 9s to Les Enfants de Timpelbach and they loved it. So did the other schools in the cinema, you could tell by the audible gasps at crucial moments and the ‘aahs’ at tender points of the film: it was a resounding success. A lot was gained by it both linguistically and culturally.”

Judith Steinberg, a senior French teacher and attendee at the Into Film Festival 2014.

“Film is an amazing learning tool – it enables people to understand more about events, history, society and much more. And it also brings people together and encourages discussion. There are so many great conversations you can have about different topics and issues after watching a film together. The Into Film Festival is really exciting because it is a great opportunity for young people to do this, and also learn more about the film industry itself. And all for free, which is great!”
Carey Mulligan, actor (Far From the Madding Crowd, Suffragette, An Education, The Great Gatsby).
