Film Club

Chris Beedham — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:13:16 +0000

FILMCLUB is a chance to enter the incredible, limitless cosmos of films – a rollercoaster ride through worlds that delight, challenge, inspire, unite and amaze.

FILMCLUB is a new service run by movie-lovers to introduce kids to the wonder of films. How? By helping teachers and pupils form clubs in schools to show fantastic movies from every era and every corner of the world.

FILMCLUB is free to most schools. You just order the movies on the website, and they deliver them. Simple!
