Into Film have linked to the
British Film Industry- Britain on Film project, which is currently making
archive films free to watch, as a way of helping educate children whilst at
home. This is a great way to discover History and develop English skills.
"We're using archive film to support young people in
developing their literacy skills and help families experience the fun,
educational benefits of film watching while celebrating the stories and
heritage of the past that is all around us. Using archive film collections is a
great way to encourage young people to explore both their local area and the
UK's vast cultural history."
