Fife Quarterly update 2: Feb 2014

Launch of Into Film FILMCLUB and First Light officially merged to become Into Film in early February. The wider film education programme for 5-19 year olds includes learning resources, filmmaking, CPD and training, film clubs, film festivals and other activities.

Involvement in the programme Since August 2013 over 170 schools and organisations have joined the programme, including ten in : • • Beath High School • • Freuchie Primary School • Primary School • Kirkcaldy West Primary School • Kirkland High School • St Agatha’s R.C. Primary School • Sinclairtown Primary School

Filmmaking support St Agatha’s R.C. Primary School will be supported by a local filmmaker as part of cluster in Fife. Two more Fife schools are expected to join this cluster. Through this programme a filmmaker will provide CPD to teachers as well as running filmmaking sessions in the school.

There are also resources available to support filmmaking available online at http://www.intofilm.org/schools-resources.
