We support teachers in introducing students to specialist, independent and archive film by sharing knowledge, techniques and critical approaches. We do this by running courses and conferences and producing a range of teaching resources.

Research and Advocacy
We recognise the importance of evidence-based practice, and prioritise research in areas where we are recognised as leading advocates:

- Programming for young and diverse audiences
- Tracking outcomes from film education.
We always aim to advocate film education from a position of practical knowledge, formalised as research with recognised HE partners.
