Life Skills Through Cinema

School Cinema is a film-pedagogy programme for schools, created by LXL Ideas Pvt. Ltd. in Bengaluru. It uses original, age-appropriate short films followed by guided reflection, discussion and activities to build social-emotional learning (SEL), life skills, mental well-being and social skills. It has reached 20 lakh+ students in 1000+ schools across 4 countries.

Every session follows four steps that fit into the regular timetable: students watch a short film built around a life skill, reflect through workbook activities, discuss it in a teacher-led conversation guided by the facilitator manual, and apply the lesson to their own lives.

There are film collections for every stage from kindergarten to Class 10 — Junior (KG to Class 3) and Classes 4 to 10 — plus dedicated films for teachers and for parents. The library has 130+ films and 120+ lessons of life.

Schools choose a workbook model or a digital model. The workbook model includes full-colour student workbooks, printed activities, a facilitator manual with lesson plans, implementation training and a Mentor magazine subscription. The digital model runs on the LXL LMS with every film online, digital activities, formative and summative assessments, student certificates and a programme report for school management and parents.

Teachers receive a training programme and a facilitator manual for every film — synopsis, key objective, targeted life skills, discussion topics and suggested activities — plus a teacher helpline, monthly support meets and observation sessions with feedback.

No. School Cinema is an educational programme that supports guided classroom conversations and reflection. Schools keep their own safeguarding and counselling processes, and exploring the programme never requires sensitive student information.

Yes. School Cinema films have won 7 National Awards and 9 International Awards and have been selected at 450+ international film festivals.

Pricing isn't published because the right proposal depends on the grades covered, the model and the scope. A School Cinema representative first understands the school's requirement and then shares the correct proposal.
