Supporting Accessibility in Cinema This year's festival features more than 200 subtitled and audio described shows, for people with hearing or sight loss. NSFW would like to thank a wide range of partners for making this possible including: BATOD, NDCS, RNIB, RNID, DTS, Dolby Laboratories Inc and Your Local Cinema.com. As Cinema-going is one of the most popular social activities it is only right that all young people are given the opportunity to experience films where they are intended to be viewed, on the big screen, with their classmates, and share the enjoyment of discussing the film afterwards.
The following is a selection of the most frequently asked questions by teachers regarding National Schools Film Week. If there are any issues and queries that are not covered here, then please phone 020 7292 7300, or email events@filmeducation.org, or visit the NSFW website HERE Is it really free to participate? All places booked for National Schools Film Week are free. We do, however, charge a late cancellation or no-show fee (£50); this is only enforced if a teacher does not contact us to cancel within 6 working days prior to the screening or fails to show up on the day. As many of our events are sell out events , schools who do not take up the places that they have booked, will have denied the opportunity to another school in the same area to attend the screening. Is there any limit to the number of places we can book? No. You may bring as many students as you like, and for as many screenings as you like, as long as there's space in the cinema! But please carefully consider the number of seats that you book and be as accurate as possible. And don't forget to include teachers and helpers! How can I use cinema in my teaching? Learning which takes place beyond the classroom walls plays an important role in students' social and cultural education. By providing free film screenings, along with a rich programme of educational events and a wealth of high quality, curriculum-based online resources to support learning, National Schools Film Week ensures these opportunities are available to students of all backgrounds. Learners at any level can gain immensely from the cinema experience whether they are an A-level Film Studies student or a Year 1 child seeing their first-ever big screen film. Indeed the experience of film can start before children and young people arrive at the cinema.. Before a screening, teachers can involve their whole class in preparing for the event, for example, by researching the history of the local cinema, investigating current films' releases or exploring the issues that feature in their chosen film. Back in the classroom, Film Education's curriculum–focused teaching materials make it easy to incorporate film across a sequence of lessons or even a whole term, whether exploring issues presented onscreen or developing an understanding of the language of film. Whatever your focus, film can provide a valuable, accessible and engaging mode of delivery to learners. For further advice or guidance, see our website or contact one of our education team.
