After a difficult period, taking care of our mental health has never been more important, especially for students and teachers.

Created in partnership with the Mental Health Foundation, this two-week course from Into Film will help you develop a variety of film-based strategies to enable you and your students to confidently engage with mindfulness.

Engage the senses through film with mindful listening and focused looking

In an age where information is available with just a click, it’s easy to take our senses for granted. Mindfulness reminds us how important our senses are in our lives.

You’ll discover how film, specifically multisensory filmmaking, can help you tap into the mental health benefits of mindfulness, such as enhancing focus, promoting self-regulation, increasing resilience, and improving interpersonal skills.

Develop crucial skills to plan and shoot mindfulness films

On this course, you’ll focus on strategies using setting and character to help your students explore their emotions, manage their feelings, and see the links between emotions, thoughts, and actions.

Through practical advice and techniques, from camera shot types to camera angles and movements, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to create your own mindfulness films that promote greater wellbeing.
