Young people in Somerset are being given the chance to take part in a memorable and educational cinematic experience this November as part of the Into Film Festival – the world’s biggest youth film festival.

The festival, hosted by education charity Into Film and supported by Cinema First and the BFI through Lottery funding, is a major cultural and educational event taking place across the UK for free as part of an ongoing initiative to use film and filmmaking as a learning tool.

About 300,000 young people, aged from five to 19, will be attending the festival.

The festival will feature new and classic films, workshops and Q&A sessions with industry professionals.
