It takes an enormous amount of skill and hard work to make a film, and we believe that this creative process should be understood, valued and respected. We want to ensure that young people understand the connection between a finished film and the creators’ intellectual property, as well as be aware of the consequences of illegal downloading and video piracy. Watch the film See What You Did with your students before completing the activity sheet. What is intellectual property? Copyright and intellectual property (IP) sits at the foundation of all film production. It gives creators confidence that they own their work, and that they will be entitled to manage the distribution of the finished product. By striking a balance between the interests of creatives and the wider public, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. Here at Into Film, we support the collective efforts of the film industry and UK government to raise awareness of issues relating to copyright infringement. To achieve this, we are proud to be partnering with Cinema First, the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property (IP) Awareness, Intellectual Property Office and other cross-industry partners. We want to open up the world of film production to young people and give them opportunities to make their own films, whilst empowering them to make positive choices when accessing films online. Our suite of resources aim to educate young people to respect intellectual property in three ways: By encouraging them to become creators themselves, thereby understanding the inherent principles of copyright and the value of work Demonstrating our belief that the emotional impact and enjoyment derived from watching a film is a tangible reason to pay to see it legally Teaching them about the multifaceted nature of the filmmaking process, through projects such as Creating Movie Magic and Green Light to Opening Night For information on legally accessing films both at home and in the cinema, visit www.findanyfilm.com. For information on copyright and schools visit www.copyrightandschools.org. For more resources around respect for intellectual property visit www.crackingideas.com.

Into Film interviewed both director Lenny Abrahamson and actor Domhnall Gleeson for a podcast in advance of The Little Stranger’s theatrical release (21 September). We asked them a wide variety of questions about their approach to the film, its characters, and its themes, designed specifically to support English Literature teachers using* The Little Stranger in the classroom. With comparisons to books and films including The Innocents, Rebecca, Great Expectations and The Beguiled, the text sits on the Edexcel English Literature A Level specification alongside other gothic fiction such as* Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Adapted from the 2009 Booker Prize-nominated novel of the same name by celebrated author Sarah Waters,The Little Stranger is a darkly mysterious drama directed by Oscar nominee, Lenny Abrahamson (Room), and starring cross-generational British/Irish talent including Domhnall Gleeson, Will Poulter, Charlotte Rampling and Ruth Wilson. The Little Stranger tells the story of Dr Faraday, the son of a housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries, but it is now in decline and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how disturbingly, the family’s story is about to become entwined with his own.
