Based on the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral, new period drama Belle looks set to sweep audiences away with its tender drama, impressive costume design and moral centre.

Into Film is the new UK education charity (which incorporates the legacy of FILMCLUB and First Light), that seeks to put film at the heart of all children and young people’s education. Visit www.intofilm.org for more information.
Into Film reporters are school children and college pupils aged 9 – 18 from across the UK who, through the charity, have the opportunity to be introduced to different aspects of the film industry. This includes reporting at events and interviewing film talent — many for the first time, bringing interviews to their peers from their own perspective.
