Into Film Festival Programme
The 2018 Into Film Festival offers up over 150 titles, carefully curated for their appeal and suitability for young people aged from 5-19.
The 2018 Into Film Festival is divided into six strands, delivering a thought-provoking programme of diverse stories, genres and themes that will engage and excite young people in the cinematic experience.
This year's festival will celebrate animation from around the world; highlight the latest films directed or written by women; look back at comedy in film history and its key stars; open discussions on the wide spectrum of mental health and wellbeing; engage with discussions on the environment and the individuals fighting to make the world a better place; and reflect on the cinematic voices of European countries. Film titles will include blockbuster premieres alongside classics, short films and hidden gems, spanning modern foreign language to animation, all mapped against curricula from across the four nations, and supported by the Festival's various educational resources.
