The National Film & Screen Saturday Club gives young people in years 9, 10 and 11 the unique opportunity to study film and screen at Activate Learning. It will introduce young people to the massive opportunities in this rapidly growing sector of the UK economy for free.

The combination of creative thinking and technical skills is at the heart of the National Film & Screen Saturday Club, and we encourage you to bring your imagination to life. This club is a great start to your creative journey; whether you aspire to direct, or become a cinematographer or editor, this club will open your eyes to the vast opportunities this industry offers.

Club members will also take part in national events including Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!

National Film&Screen Saturday Club is FREE, and places go to students who want to expand their creative skills and are committed to attending on Saturday mornings from November to March!

Please note: by enrolling to a National Saturday Club at Activate Learning, you will be part of the National Saturday Club, taking place across the UK. We will be required to share the data of those enrolled with the National Saturday Club for administrative purposes.
