Film Access Scotland is the national sector development body which represents Film Access organisations and practitioners across Scotland. Its members use film as an expressive tool to unlock the potential of individuals, groups and communities to bring about positive and lasting social change. Members use film and filmmaking to change lives by developing personal, social and technical skills, improving employability outcomes and focussing on health and wellbeing. They work with young people, adult learners, schools, communities and film talent through high-quality, inclusive and accessible learning, training and production programmes. Current member organisations include Screen Education Edinburgh, Station House Media Unit (shmu), Plantation Productions, GMAC Film, and Media Education.

The Festival Advisory Group and other young people will be supported and encouraged to participate in high-quality, inspiring film activities and transformative learning experiences hosted by Film Access Scotland and its network of member organisations on a local, regional and national basis.
