From birth to adulthood, we like to grow with our audiences!
It's never too late to learn, so Filmhouse regularly organises lectures, workshops and courses for adults as well. Filmhouse is proud to host to a number of great adult workshops and regular film seasons for people interested in studying and discussing film. We also host several CLPL sessions each year to enrich educators' teaching and learning practice through film.
Filmosophy
Filmosophy is a long-running season at Filmhouse of original and thought-provoking films and discussions. Each film is presented by a short introduction and followed by an accessible and informal post-screening discussion. Screenings are introduced and post-screening discussions hosted by James Mooney, Short Courses lecturer and course organiser at The University of Edinburgh. No previous knowledge of philosophy is required.
For more information on screenings and events or to continue the discussion, you can 'like' Filmosophy on their Facebook page or follow @film_philosophy on Twitter.
