Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
Since its inception as a result of our ICAP Charity Day funding in 2017, our hugely successful Moving Minds filmmaking project has spawned 19 youth-made films, a celebratory screening day, a new category at the 2019 Into Film Awards and a brand new teaching resource.
The films produced are also a perfect resource for exploring Mental Health Awareness Week (13-19 May), which this year explores the theme of 'body image'. Use the films below to engage your film club or class with issues around body image, as well as the countless other discussions around mental health that demand attention.
