Welcome to National Schools Film Week!
The world's largest festival for cinema & young people

National Schools Film Week (NSFW) provides teachers and their students the opportunity to see a wide range of films at local cinemas entirely free-of-charge. This year is the 14th annual festival and promises to bring you even more films in even more locations than ever before. From major urban centres to small towns, NSFW extends education into local cinemas, giving teachers the opportunity to use the power of film to cover many different subjects.

The festival is available to any school. Every year we are able to take more groups to the cinema. After a record attendance of 410,000 last year, we hope to achieve 450,000 in 2009.

We welcome bookings of all sizes. Some schools will bring an entire Year group or Key Stage while others attend on a class-by-class basis. We do not limit places to any number of students or schools to any number of bookings. As long as there is space in the cinema, you are welcome!
Teachers' Comments
K. Walters, Barry Comprehensive School:
"National Schools Film Week is an excellent opportunity for our students to experience film on the big screen.. As a Film and Media Studies teacher, I welcome every opportunity of free screenings because it supports with work I am doing in the classroom and enables the student's to understand the Film Industry on a larger scale."
