Our vision for Glasgow Film is an inclusive, collaborative space where audiences and communities can nurture their passion for cinema and be empowered through taking part in our programmes.

To do this we work collaboratively with young people, teachers, our fellow film education organisations and funders to provide a fun and relevant programme for ages 5-25.

Glasgow Film is proud to have previously been the lead organisation for the Glasgow Film Education Alliance, a collaborative film education initiative with Glasgow Film, Into Film, Glasgow City Council Better Futures and Glasgow Improvement Challenge, supported by Screen Scotland.

We are now running our ‘Cinema Education For All’ project which aims to enhance and improve our core education offer by creating additional and more targeted opportunities for families, children and young people to engage in screen education, to broaden and deepen their understanding of the screen industries and to inspire the next generation of filmmakers.

To do this we will support Glasgow Film’s mission of ‘Cinema For All’ where children, families and young people from all backgrounds can nurture their passion for cinema and film through a programme of relevant, informative and engaging screenings, events and learning activities.

Through these activities we want to enrich and improve the lives and well-being of children, families and young people, and become a UK sector leader in film education and engaging diverse young people in independent film and cinema culture.
