This resource highlights the discoveries we made from our inclusion project by looking at six of the most popular and impactful films. The resource provides tips for the arrangement of an Into Film club, suggestions for film reviewing, and activities to enhance and support screenings.

There are activities suitable for all abilities and we hope that what we have provided will stand as a good starting point for you to work with your particular cohort, enabling you to choose the sections that will work best for you.

We start by focusing on an easier film and move on to more challenging choices for older groups throughout the resource. You may wish to find other choices from the inclusion project to watch with your group.

For each film included in this resource, the following activities are provided:

• Discussion questions, which you can ask your group before and after watching the film. These questions will be linked to themes of ‘Identity and Belonging’ and focus on various elements of film known as the 3Cs and 3Ss: character, colour, camera, sound, setting and story • A filmmaking activity • A post-screening activity • A more challenging extension activity • Where relevant, worksheets are provided at the end of this resource to print and photocopy for students to work on

A full list of films can be found here; for more suggestions, contact info@intofilm.org.
