The National Youth Film Festival

Resources and projects
The first National Youth Film Festival kicks off later this month when film screenings, industry workshops and a range of other activities will take place – all with key educational themes. Sam Wilson explains.

“Film is engaging, no matter what the subject is. It is instantaneous, user-friendly and crosses the curriculum from creative writing to the sciences.” Phil Hardwick, English teacher and Film Club leader at the BBG Academy, West Yorkshire.

The advantage of film as a learning tool is that it appeals to all, from disengaged pupils or those with SEN to the most gifted and talented. The inaugural National Youth Film Festival, taking place from October 21 to November 8, will enable young people from all walks of life and all areas of the UK to understand, watch, create and enjoy film in new and challenging ways.
