Film Street is a free, interactive website designed to bring filmmaking to children under 12, their parents and teachers. Film Street aims to introduce children to a wider range of film and inspire them to make their own films, in a fun and creative way.

Commissioned by Culture Online, part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Film Street was developed by First Light Movies, the UK’s young people’s filmmaking initiative, in partnership with Children’s BBC, the British Film Institute, the UK Film Council and Creative Partnerships.

Film Street is packed with interactive activities, movie-making ideas and expert advice. Through visits to locations like the Film Studio and the Costume Shop, children can explore the site to learn how to make a film.

There is also a section for Teachers with advice about how they can bring film education and filmmaking into their classrooms.
