Into Film has partnered with the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property Awareness and the Intellectual Property Office for the second year, to produce a new resource for Primary students.
Intellectual property supports creativity, innovation, and has an important role to play in both the UK economy, and the creative industries. That is why we're committed to ensuring children and young people are fully aware of exactly what IP is, why it's important, and how it links to children's own creativity and filmmaking.
This resource introduces key ideas of intellectual property and copyright, enabling learners to explore concepts of creativity and ownership in relation to film. By becoming creators themselves and exploring the different roles involved in making a film, the activities encourage children to understand and respect intellectual property and want to preserve it in the future.

Trolls, fairies and mythical creatures abound in Artemis Fowl, a fantastical film adapted from Eoin Colfer’s best-selling Artemis Fowl book series.

In Artemis Fowl: Decoding Your World, pupils will be introduced to Artemis through the film’s trailer and tasked with deciphering secret messages using Gnommish code from the film. Students will immerse themselves into the magical world of film and be inspired by a uniquely smart and adaptable lead character.

Mamie Till-Mobley might not be a name that is widely recognised but her actions
following the brutal lynching of her 14-year-old son Emmett Till in Mississippi, 1955, caused a seismic cultural shift in the twentieth century and acted as the catalyst for the modern Civil Rights movement.
Mamie was a mother of one and public school teacher who became a revolutionary civil rights figure in the mid-1950s and campaigned until her death in 2003. Her transformation was marked by her resilience in harnessing her grief and anger towards her son’s murderers and the corrupt justice system of the southern states of the USA, which she used to teach the whole world about the impact of racism, inequality and injustice.
There are parallels with the death of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 in London and the activism of his mother Doreen Lawrence, now Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon, OBE who kept his image, story and legacy in the public consciousness through media coverage and campaigning against legal injustice.
We have produced this new resource based on the film Hairspray to complement the new Welsh National Literacy Framework for Primary schools, aimed a developing oracy, reading, and writing across the curriculum.
