Our mission

Scotland's oldest filmmaking organisation, Screen Education Edinburgh (SEE) is dedicated to making film accessible to all. We develop skills, knowledge and passion in filmmaking for young people, schools, adult learners, communities and independent filmmakers, through our education, production and training programmes.
Moving Image Arts

Aged 16-25 and got a thirst for telling your own story through film? Moving Image Arts AS level qualification gives you a unique opportunity to develop your voice as a filmmaker. You’ll examine the history, techniques and creative impact of film, and use this to inform the development and production of your own work. Applications are now open for our 2020-21 course.

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.
