RESOURCES

This page includes supporting resources on writing film reviews suitable for both primary and secondary teaching. For schools and colleges wishing to film their entries, there is also guidance on presenting a review ‘to camera’ along with some examples.

We hope that using the resources will engage your students with critical thinking and the process of review writing and will encourage them to enter the Young Film Critic competition.
