Learning
EIFF provides a range of formal and informal learning opportunities. From screenings and study days for schools to workshops and discussion events for all. And with a huge number of filmmakers visiting the Festival this year you will have the opportunity to ask your own questions at many film screenings. What will you discover this year?
Edinburgh Schools Film Competition
Over 140 films were submitted by 38 city schools, which included Primary, Secondary, Special Schools and one Nursery. The nine Youth Jurors selected the final 40 films which will be shown on Saturday 19 June at 10am (Primary School selection) and 12pm (Secondary School selection). Free tickets to both screenings are available from the EIFF box office.
