National Schools Film Week is the biggest event of its kind in the World and in 2007 took 300,000 children to see 1,500 films in 530 locations throughout the UK!
With culture and the environment high on the education agenda, more and more teachers are turning to film as the unique medium that can deliver complex information to a young audience in a meaningful and accessible way.
The focus of National Schools Film Week in 2008 is Discovering Cultures, a theme relevant to both primary and secondary school children and one that encompasses some hard hitting issues.
NSFW programmed a range of current and forthcoming films to address issues such as the environment, social and racial injustice, bullying, politics and − more broadly − the world young people young people currently inhabit shown from a variety of different perspectives.
