Anti-Bullying Week, coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, is from the 13–17 November with the theme ‘All Different/ All Equal’. The key aim of the week is to encourage children, teachers and parents to celebrate what makes us all different and to create environments where young people can be themselves free from bullying. Film has a vital role to play in inspiring change and encouraging us to see that even though we may just be one person– we can make all the difference. This is why we are proud to work in partnership with Into Film who provide schools with the resources they need to bring the subject of bullying to life through film.” Martha Evans, National Coordinator, Anti-Bullying Alliance.

Heroes and villains provide the backbone of some of our most enduring stories. These films prove that heroes can come in all shapes and sizes, from any background and any age. Working alone, or as part of a team these characters inspire us with their feats, even when they are relatively humble. But who doesn't love a great baddie as well? Despite all of the booing and hissing, the truly great villains are more complex than they initially seem, and it is only when our hero encounters their nemesis that their greatest qualities are truly revealed. The films in the theme are divided into three strands: Heroic Villains and Villainous Heroes, Heroes Assemble and Little Heroes. For each strand, there are activity outlines and extension activities that can be used with any of the films listed in that section. The activities in this resource support learners to examine the relationship between heroes and villains in films, their traits and journeys and how they form teams with others. The films referenced in this resource are available to borrow for free to Into Film Clubs: Beauty and the Beast (1991), Fantastic Mr Fox (2009), Frozen (2013), Shrek (2001), Space Jam (1996), Spirited Away (2001), The LEGO Movie (2014), The Lion King (1994), The Lorax (2012), The Princess Bride (1987).

Some films have a timeless, enduring quality, and are handed down from generation to generation for whole new audiences to fall in love with. These films have the power to make us laugh, cry and think learning a little more about ourselves and the world we live in along the way. What's more, these are films to be enjoyed time and again, by ourselves when we are in a particular mood, or better yet, settling down with friends and family to share the experience and magic for the first or hundredth time. The films in this strand have been grouped in four strands: The Hero's Journey, Historical England, Fantastical Locations, and Unforgettable Companions. For each strand, there are activity outlines and extension activities that can be used for work with any of the films listed in that section.
