Highfields School was recently chosen to be a part of a promotion for Into Film’s exciting new initiative ‘Every Child a Filmmaker’. Chosen as a participant in this innovative program, Highfields opens doors to the world of filmmaking, providing a platform for students to express themselves through the lens of a camera.
As part of the promotion, Highfields Head of Film, Mr Beesla states “It’s really important for children to have the opportunity to make films. It is a way of expressing themselves and giving them a voice that they may not have otherwise”.
Some of our very own Film Studies and Film Club students were interviewed about the impact and significance filmmaking has had on their lives. “Film helps me share my own ideas and stories by letting me express myself in a medium that people can easily understand” quotes Olivia.

The initiative aligns with the school's ethos of encouraging students to explore their passions, push creative boundaries, and shape narratives that resonate with their unique perspectives.
As Highfields continues its exciting journey into filmmaking, we all eagerly awaits the diverse stories, compelling narratives, and creative endeavors that our students will unfold through the art of filmmaking, fostering a culture where every student's voice is heard and celebrated.
