UK schools invited to take part in free film screenings as part of a £26m ($40m) investment in film education.
The launch of the first National Youth Film Festival has been announced.
The nationwide programme of free film screenings and activities will be aimed at youngsters aged five to 19, and will run from October 21 to November 8.
It will allow pupils from all UK schools and youth groups to attend the cinema free of charge and will also include interactive workshops and Q&A sessions with industry professionals.
The screenings will be tied into the curriculum so teachers can use them for educational purposes.
The BFI is investing £26m of lottery funding over the next four years into the first unified film education offering for five-to 19-year-olds, which is being delivered by Film Nation UK, a new charity for film education.
The board of trustees is led by Working Title’s Eric Fellner and includes James Bond producer...
