FILM FANS WANTED FOR ‘CINESEEKERS’ AND ‘CINEFOCUS’ JURIES THIS OCTOBER!

Cinemagic is recruiting jury panels made up of 5-11 year olds and 12- 14 year olds and 15-25 year olds to watch and judge a series of international films during the Cinemagic Belfast 2017 Festival programme this October.

The initiative aims to inspire young cinema-going audiences and provides a platform for debate and discussion! Cinemagic film jury members will have the opportunity to meet other young film fans, learn about the role of the film critic and play an important role in the Festival choosing its winners!

The CineSeekers and CineFocus jury members meet at the Festival in Belfast and they will enjoy a feast of film before choosing the winning films of 2017.

By providing young people with a unique, creative and fun-filled outlet for world cinema, the aim is to develop and nurture a broader appreciation, understanding and love of film, as well as celebrating the stories, peoples and cultures from around the globe.
