Film Education existed to encourage and promote the study of film and cinema within the UK National Curriculum. Although the organisation ceased to exist in April 2013, thanks to the support of Cinema First and Film Distributors’ Association, the organisation’s website and the library of online resources continues to be accessible, providing details on primary and secondary resources, CD-ROMs, a listing of commercial video titles selected for their suitability in classroom teaching, and education packs. Ian Wall, who founded Film Education in 1986, has since founded The Film Space, a new organisation, which seeks to encourage and build an understanding and appreciation of the moving image, in all its forms, amongst children and young people in full-time education.

This site, which also hosts the 100 Years of Cinema in Europe, provides information on European films distributed in cinemas since 1995 that serves as a useful companion to the European Audiovisual Observatory project. The main aim is to provide greater information about the business side of film-making, giving details of titles, directors, distributers (in Europe and the world) and so on. An interesting feature is the prominence given to the Euro Kids Network 1996 - 2000 project, the aim of which is to make films available to children either in cinemas on in classrooms, all over Europe. The site is also available in French and Italian languages.
