A NUMBER of free film screenings will be held in Bradford when a young people’s film festival returns to the city next month.

The Into Film Festival runs from November 7-23 November, and will involve hundreds of thousands of children across the country.

In Bradford there will be eight free screenings of films including Isle of Dogs, Ready Player One, Zoo, The Greatest Showman (pictured), Fantastic Mr Fox, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, Mary and the Witch’s Flower and Ferdinand.

The Festival is hosted by film education charity, Into Film, and is supported by the UK film industry through Cinema First and the BFI through National Lottery funding, engaging with over half of UK schools. It is free to all students.

The Into Film Festival welcomed 487,000 young people from all backgrounds and corners of the UK last year and engages youngsters in all aspects of filmmaking from the popular Review Writing Competition, which keeps the Festival experience alive and encourages literacy and critical thinking, to learning about careers in the film industry with industry experts lifting the lid on a vast range of topics including VFX, directing, screenwriting, foley artistry and sound design, prop making, costume design, audio describing, copywriting, film classification and acting.
