Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
From Cartoon Saloon - the studio behind Into Film favourites The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea - comes an F-Rated* animation more suitable for slightly older audiences, set in Afghanistan, 2001. 11 year-old Parvana helps her father in the marketplace who regales her with historical tales and stories of the imagination. But when he's unjustly imprisoned by the Taliban, Parvana dresses as a boy so that she can continue to provide food for the rest of her family. Based on the best-selling novel by Deborah Ellis, The Breadwinner celebrates family bonds and storytelling around the world.
* The F-Rating is awarded to films a) directed by a woman and/or b) written by a woman. If the film also features significant women on screen in their own right it is triple F-Rated. The rating is designed to support and promote women and redress the imbalance in the film industry.
Into Film has recently introduced to the F-Rating to its catalogue and you will soon be able to search for and filter films in this way.
