  1. Who we are
  2. Our mission

Our mission

Screen Education Edinburgh is dedicated to filmmaking for all, delivering high quality learning, training and production programmes that develop skills, knowledge and opportunities for young people, adult learners, schools, communities, and film talent.

Through a progressive pathway of increased development of learners of all ages, our programmes increase confidence, wellbeing, attainment, film knowledge and skills, and enable progression towards further and higher education study, and into the film, tv and media workplace. 

Scotland's oldest filmmaking organisation, over the past four decades we have specialised in developing people from areas of deprivation and low-income backgrounds, those living with a disability, and those from diverse backgrounds, giving access to the artform, and nurturing new and undiscovered talent. 

Year round we support those passionate about filmmaking in Edinburgh and surrounding areas through low-cost equipment hire, meeting, rehearsal, screening, and small studio space at our multi-purpose learning and production base in North Edinburgh, with our learning, training and production programmes delivered at our base, and through outreach activity across the City and beyond, or through virtual learning.

We have a rich history of producing inclusive drama and documentary films focused on the lives of those from underrepresented communities, with our films screening on TV, online and at film festivals globally, winning numerous BAFTA and festival awards. 

We deliver film productions for public, voluntary, and social enterprise sector clients, including event, corporate, training and information films, with our unique approach involving learners from underrepresented backgrounds being integrated into each production team, further developing their skills, knowledge, and employability.
