Into Film Scotland, backed by the British Film Institute, will make thousands of films freely available to pupils throughout the country, as well as supporting their own efforts to create features, documentaries, music videos and other films.

Paul Reeve, chief executive officer of Into Film, told the launch at St Mungo’s Academy in Glasgow last week that the medium was a tremendous resource.
“Its compelling stories have enormous historic, literary, geographic, linguistic, cultural and social value and the relevance these stories embody speaks across age, class, gender and background,” he said.
