Film Education Service Launch

---

Film Education has launched its new service for schools over the NEN with SEGfL.

Curriculum resources based on international feature films are now available to all schools through the NEN from ‘Film Education'. Working with SEGfL and Janet a new website has been developed especially for both Primary and Secondary schools.

The resources include ‘Oliver Twist' and ‘Beowulf' as well as BAFTA winners like ‘Die Another Day' and ‘King Arthur'. More recently ‘Persopolis' set in Iran deals with "war, revolution, family, punk - growing up."

There are many more projects including:
• Slumdog Millionaire (GCSE/A-Level) the new British film (out Jan '09) by Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave, Trainspotting) about a boy in India who is thrust into the limelight.
• The Secret of Moon Acre (KS2) - the Warner Bros adaptation of The Little White Horse to be release in February ‘09.
• The Boat that Rocked (GCSE/A-Level) - the Richard Curtis (4 Weddings & A Funeral, Love Actuality) new block buster which will open in April ‘09.
• The Boy in Striped Pyjamas (KS3) - the adaptation of John Boyne's novel that has done well in cinemas and will be out on DVD on March 9. The resource includes an exclusive full-length interview with its author along with a range of activities and study clips from the film, particularly useful for those schools developing programmes of work around Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th
