Donate

Screen Education Edinburgh is a small charitable organisation doing big things to make film accessible for all, no matter their background, ability or financial circumstances.

Our story

SEE was originally known as Pilton Video, which was founded in 1981 to work exclusively in North Edinburgh to develop people, support the work of local organisations, and be at the heart of community development through film education and production.

Cashback for Creativity

From 2012-20, Screen Education Edinburgh ran CashBack, a high quality learning experience that offered a pathway of progression in film for young people aged 10-24, living in areas of deprivation who have little or no access to creative opportunities.

Learning Projects

We specialise in working with organisations to train, support and develop their service users or staff to create their own content.
