CELEBRATING its 30th anniversary in 2019, Cinemagic has launched its annual call for young film enthusiasts to take on the role of 'film consultants' to help programme a series of films for this year's festival which runs throughout October.
Set to run between July 15 to 20 at Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast, the participants in the young consultants’ scheme will work with the Cinemagic team in Belfast to help steer the choice of films for the festival by watching and critiquing films from around the world.
If you know a budding film critic who would enjoy the opportunity to spend time with Cinemagic, this is a fantastic opportunity to meet other like-minded young people and have fun deciding the content of the largest film festival for young people in Ireland and Britain.
Chris Shaw, Cinemagic Programmer said: "Our annual young film consultants panel has been one of the longest-running initiatives of the Cinemagic Festival since its inception 30 years ago.
"The young film consultants will have the opportunity to watch and review international films guided by the Cinemagic team and there will be lots of opportunities for discussion and debate around programming."
Young people aged eight to 11, 12 to 14 and 15 to 18 with a keen interest in film and the enthusiasm to discuss and debate within a group should register by emailing claire@cinemagic.org.uk for a registration form.
The cost to participate is £20 per person (if paying online there is a £2 booking fee) payable in advance of July to secure the booking.
