Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
At Into Film, one of our main goals is to support educators and careers professionals in helping young people explore careers in the screen industries. That's why we're thrilled to join the Career Development Institute (CDI) as an affiliate member, aligning with the UK's professional body for careers work. This partnership allows us to further extend our expertise and better equip young people with the knowledge and opportunities needed to pursue careers in this dynamic field.
The CDI is the largest and most influential UK-wide professional association for the career development sector, which includes career advisers, career coaches, career educators, talent managers, and other professionals working in the public, private, voluntary, and community sectors.
Into Film, with the support of the BFI awarding National Lottery good cause funding, aims to bridge the gap between industry and careers professionals and educators; providing resource packs, assemblies, podcasts and broadcasts, teacher encounters, CPD and events to help everyone better understand the industry. Our youth-facing social media shares industry insights, opportunities and competitions to help young people test out their career ideas.
We look forward to networking with other CDI members and sharing opportunities more widely to connect practitioners with the breadth of opportunity on offer in the screen industries.
Having been a member of the CDI since its inception, I recognise the importance of high standards and ethical practice in career development. As Careers Lead at Into Film, it is essential that the resources, training and events we offer adhere to these principles so that career professionals feel confident to use them for their own professional upskilling and to enable and enhance the career potential of the young people they support.

Opportunities for all
Industry growth needs new talent that represents the diversity of the UK, and this can only be achieved if young people can see opportunities out there for them.
The screen industries offer opportunities across production, pre-production and post-production, as well as sales, distribution and marketing. With varied roles utilising a whole range of skills and interests: there is something for everyone. Most students have heard of a director or screenwriter, but craft, technical and below-the-line roles are amongst those least visible to young people. Below-the-line crew bring the vision of the above-the-line roles (director, writer, executive producer) to life. Below-the-line roles include camera operator, grip, production designer, editor, assistant director, line producer and costume designer.
Navigating this wide-ranging and constantly evolving field can be daunting - both for educators and young people. That's why we've created our Go-to Guide for Screen Industry Careers resources.
If you're new to Into Film, and don't have an account yet, don't worry - it's completely free and only takes a moment to set up. An Into Film account will grant you access to hundreds of curriculum-linked educational resources, not to mention our CPD and training opportunities, competitions, and more.
Into Film is also proud to be a Social Mobility Partner of Speakers for Schools
We are also partnering with Speakers for Schools, the UK's leading social mobility charity, in our shared mission to close the opportunity gap and level-up the workplace on socioeconomic diversity opening doors to career opportunities that were previously closed by supporting fully funded life-changing work experience for students from state schools and colleges across the country.
