NATIONAL Schools Film Week starts on Thursday with a programme of movies available for West Fife youngsters.

The films being screened include Brave,The Muppets and Coriolanus.

Teachers can book their tickets on-line at www.nationalschoolsfilmweek.org

The festival's goal is to support classroom teaching by providing schools with a powerful experience for their students that links directly to elements of the curriculum - supported by an on-line library of resources related to individual films and more generic topics - essentially an extension of the classroom.

Around 470,000 students and their teachers attended the Festival in 2011 and this year the festival, which operates on a scale not known in any other country - 2,500 screenings at 570 cinemas across the UK - celebrates its 17th birthday.'

Nick Walker, festival director for National Schools Film Week, said, "The festival seeks to create a greater awareness and understanding of cinema based on the concept of relationships and dialogues in a variety of films, address issues of cultural exchange and raise awareness amongst teaching professionals of the use of film across the school curriculum.

"This is achieved by in-cinema talks and on-line resources, which give teachers the tools to encourage students to explore and understand new cinematic worlds."
