Northern Ireland

Into Film puts film at the heart of children and young people's educational, cultural, and personal development. The Northern Ireland (NI) team promotes the Into Film programme throughout the nation by delivering resources to school and non-school settings to enhance the film education offer.

With the support of NI Screen Funding, Into Film's NI team offer a unique programme of opportunities, workshops, and incentives for schools across the region, including providing opportunities for young people with an interest in working within the creative industries in Northern Ireland through our pioneering ScreenWorks programme.

Into Film+

Our brand-new free* streaming service, Into Film+, allows you to stream over hundreds of feature films and shorts directly into your classroom. Many films also come with special wraparound content such as curriculum-linked resources and exclusive videos.

Please note: you will need a valid Public Video Screening (PVS) Licence to access Into Film+. There is support available for Extended Schools to help cover the cost of this. For more information please please contact the Northern Ireland Team.

* Screenings for an entertainment or extra-curricular purpose require a PVS (Public Video Screening) Licence from Filmbankmedia. State-funded schools in England are covered by the PVS Licence.

Into Film and the Into Film+ streaming service is supported by the UK film industry through Cinema First and the BFI through National Lottery Funding, thanks to National Lottery players.
