‘CINESEEKERS’ AND ‘CINEFOCUS’ JURIES WANTED FOR BELFAST’S CINEMAGIC FESTIVAL
Date Posted: August 8, 2017
Do you enjoy watching films? Would you like to be the first to see new films from around the world? Ever thought of being a film critic? If so, this year’s Cinemagic Belfast ‘CineFocus’ and ‘CineSeekers’ film jury’ is just for you! Cinemagic is recruiting jury panels made up of 5-11 year olds, 12- 14 year olds, 15+ year olds and 18+ year olds to watch and judge a series of international films during the Cinemagic Belfast 2017 Festival programme this October. The Cinemagic Festival is funded by Northern Ireland Screen supported by the Department for Communities, Belfast City Council and George Best Belfast City Airport.
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 film fans, learn about the role of the film critic and play an important role in the Festival choosing its winners!
Chris Shaw, Cinemagic Festival Programmer said “By providing young people with a unique, creative and thought-provoking 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.”
