What is the Festival?

The 2022 Into Film Festival took place between 8-25 November, and helped educators bring learning to life for 5-19 year olds across the UK by inspiring young people to watch, understand and make film in new and creative ways.

2022 was the first year we've been able to run the Into Film Festival at full capacity since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we were delighted to welcome over 350,000 young people to cinemas across the UK, at a variety of screenings and special events. The Festival opened with pupil premieres of Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical, and closed with a special screening of Disney's Strange World.
