Cinemagic Call for 'Young Film Consultants' for Upcoming Film & TV Festival
19 Jun 2018 :
Cinemagic is looking for young film enthusiasts to take on the role of ‘Young Film Consultants’ in Belfast this July.

The group of 8 to 18-year olds will help programme films for the annual Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival for Young People, which takes place in Belfast from the 5th - 28th October 2018.

The Young Film Consultants will watch and critique films from around the globe and then work with the Cinemagic team to select films for the Festival.

Speaking about the opportunity, Cinemagic Programmer, Chris Shaw said:

“If you are a budding film critic and would enjoy the opportunity to meet other like-minded young people and have fun deciding the content of the largest film festival for young people in the UK and Ireland, then we want to hear from you!

"We are looking for young people, aged between 8 and 18, to join our annual Young Film Consultants panel, one of the longest-running initiatives in the award-winning Cinemagic Festival. As a Young Film Consultant you will have the opportunity to watch and review international films guided by the Cinemagic team. There will be lots of discussion and debate around what you like about the films, what you don't like, the strength of storylines, the stylistic approach, the subtext and wider programming considerations.”

"The young consultants are grouped into three different age categories; 8-11, 12-14 and 15-18, as the nature of the film content varies across these age ranges."

Speaking about her experience, 2017 Young Film Consultant, Holly McLaughlin (age 12) said:

“I absolutely loved being a Cinemagic Young Film Consultant! I was able to watch a whole range of different films and discuss the parts that I liked and that made me think. It was also really interesting to explore how the images and music combined to create certain effects or draw out specific emotions. I learned a lot.  Also, spending time with people who have a similar interest was great. I would really recommend the experience."

The Young Film Consultants Programme is open to all young people from Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. So, if you love film and are interested in discussing and debating within a group setting, please download and complete a registration form available from the Cinemagic website www.cinemagic.org.uk or request a form by emailing chris@cinemagic.org.uk

Post your completed registration to Cinemagic, Young Film Consultants, 49 Botanic Avenue, Belfast, BT7 1JL or email it to chris@cinemagic.org.uk

The cost to participate is £20 per person (if paying online there is a £2 booking fee) payable along with registration. 

Young Film Consultants will meet on the following dates in The Crescent Arts Centre, University Road Belfast, as per age category and participants must be available for both dates in their group:

  • 8-11 year olds: Sunday 22nd July & Monday 23rd July, 10.30am-4.00pm
  • 12-14 year olds: Tuesday 24th July & Wednesday 25th July, 10.30am-4.00pm
  • 15-18 year olds: Thursday 26th July & Friday 27th July, 10.30am-4.00pm.
