Screenonline - the British Film Insititue (BFI)

Screenonline - the British Film Institute (BFI) comprehensive online learning resource dedicated to the history of British film and television ? is now freely available to every school in the UK through the National Education Network (NEN)
No further registration is required for SEGfL schools.

Screenonline is ?The Definitive Guide to British Film and Television? in the UK, with over 300 hours of media clips. It provides resources to support the curriculum including Media Studies, English, History and Citizenship and RE. By delivering the archive over the NEN using schools broadband, the aim of the project is to give improved quality of delivery on each of the films and give schools access to key resources within the secure, safe and service-rich environment of the NEN.


With the exponential increase in use of digital video by teachers and pupils - both as creators and consumers - the need for resources that support the development of 'media literacy' becomes an increasingly important part of both the formal and informal 'curriculum' in all phases of education. Screenonline will provide a national and common centre for a wide range of such resources with the particular reference point of UK film and television freeing up teachers and support agencies to focus on 'personalisation', 'attainment' and the 'global dimension'...

From a home or non-school location you can access much of the website content, including the Archive Interactives but not the media clips which are only available, due to copyright restrictions, from school or college locations. Increasingly users in libraries will also be able to access the full resources.

Problems? If you experience any problems with access or opening the media files please use the Screenonline Helpline giving the error message you encountered.
