Into Film Festival
The Into Film Festival is a free, annual, UK-wide celebration of film and education for 5-19 year olds
The 2021 Into Film Festival took place between 10-26 November, and even with some extra safety precuations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hosted hundreds of engaging film screenings, workshops and special events across the UK drawing an audience of over 185,000 people!
Highlights included pupil premieres of Clifford the Big Red Dog and Belfast to get the Festival going, the latter of featured an introduction from director and Into Film Ambassador Sir Kenneth Branagh and the film's young stars Jude Hill and Lewis McAskie. We were also joined by director Edgar Wright for his Sparks Brothers film, James Bond producer Gregg Wilson for a screening of No Time to Die, and Joe Cornish and Michael Ajao, director and star of Attack the Block. Our closing event saw a special screening of Disney's Encanto, complete with a Colombian band and a VIP limo experience.
Meanwhile, our Spring Screenings programme returned in early 2022, with three weeks of free screenings taking place across the UK under the theme of We Can Be Heroes, celebrating stories of inspirational figures from all walks of life, from across the globe.
