Film Week encourages the students to engage more with good quality world cinema not normally shown in other cinemas. It provides an introduction to put film into context and explain narrative of the film.

The Festival has the capacity to bring students is greater, providing an inclusive experience for all. Schools integrate on the day, and students can develop social skills and advocacy for their schools. It provides a free opportunity for schools and their students to attend an arts event at an arts centre.

The Festival affords the students the chance to come in a high quality cinema and to enjoy a collective educational experience. The audience can enjoy the film in great detail and the surroundings make them a lot more attentive.

Film in the cinema is a cultural and social experience- taking young people out of the school setting generally helps concentration and engagement as they are outside of the normal confinement of a schoolroom. The Festival gives us the chance to meet teachers and build relationships with local schools; it is also nice to have young people filling building.
