About
Cineschool – a Film Education initiative, is co-funded by the European Commission Representation in the United Kingdom as part of its activities to promote awareness of key communication themes set by the European Commission, and Cinema First representing the film distribution and cinema exhibition sectors in the UK.
CineSchool screens films that tell stories from across Europe so that the adventurous nature of the programming matches the demand from teachers to have their students exposed to European cinema.
Film Education’s policy is to expose students to subtitled films early to arrest the idea of this being an issue for young people and then expand the range of films once they are captivated.
The Festival seeks to create a greater awareness and understanding of European cinema based on the concept of inter-generational relationships and dialogues in a variety of European films, address issues of cultural exchange and raise awareness amongst teaching professionals of the use of film across the school curriculum.
