Schools & Teacher Programmes
SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
Demystifying the Film Industry
The very nature of the Filmhouse programme ensures that young adults have the chance to participate in fresh new programming ideas and festivals such as the Bio-Ethics Film Festival, French/Italian/Spanish Film Festival etc. However we also offer year-round curriculum led activity with the highlight of the programme being Edinburgh International Film Festival's exciting Media Days, which allow teachers and students to examine the entire filmic process from pre and postproduction to distribution and exhibition by seeing new films and meeting local and international film professionals.
The programme is relevant to discreet subject areas such as Media Studies, Modern Studies, History and Modern Languages but also offers a rare chance for such subjects to engage with cross-curricular themes and issues.
TEACHERS
Filmhouse offers many ‘Continuing Professional Development’ opportunities for Teachers who wish to gain an in-depth look at key areas of the Media Industries in order to demystify and break down barriers, supporting and encouraging teachers’ knowledge and understanding
We offer full day and half-day workshops, which look at various aspects of the Film Industry to run both at Filmhouse and in Schools. Pre-Production – Production – Post Production (script to screen/stage). We also offer various practical and theoretical workshops for teachers.
