FILMCLUB is an education charity helping transform the lives of young people through film.
We help schools set up clubs that provide young people with the chance to watch, discuss and review a diverse range of films – feeding their imagination and nurturing their social and intellectual development.
The charity (no. 1136558) is championed by headteachers and key figures in education, and has grown from a 25-school pilot in 2007 - with support from the Department for Education, the Welsh Assembly and LOVEFiLM - to reaching 220,000 children each week, in over 7,000 clubs.
Film is a uniquely powerful medium, which can introduce young people to a wider world while promoting better learning, improved social and communication skills and raising aspirations.
If you’d like to support our work with young people you can donate now.
Or for more information please get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.

FILMCLUB impacts positively on education because all the skills learnt - critiquing and analysing films - are transferable.

Co-founder, journalist and film critic, Lindsay Mackie had experience in the area of after-school clubs, having founded the successful national book club programme, Reading For Pleasure, and believed that a similar idea would work for films.
Films have the power to raise your gaze and raise your game and give you a ticket to pleasure and enlightenment forever more...
