In 2021 Cinemagic have been delivering 'The Film Report Project' with schools throughout Northern Ireland to support literacy and ICT skills. This video illustrates the work from Scoil na Fuiseoige, Twinbrook, Belfast. The students had the opportunity to view and review a film by presenting a piece to camera. The class devised their own filming crew with each student taking on the role of either Presenter, Director, Sound Recordist or Producer. The young reporters from Scoil na Fuiseoige have reviewed SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. The Film Report is supported by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland through the Department for Communities, and Rural Community Network. #FilmReport #FilmEducation #YoungReviewers CINEMAGIC ON SOCIAL Follow - https://www.facebook.com/CinemagicFestival Follow - http://www.Twitter.com/Cinemagic Follow - https://www.instagram.com/cinemagic_filmfestival/ https://www.cinemagic.org.uk​ (website) https://filmfestival.cinemagic.org.uk/​ (festival player) SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER - https://cinemagic.org.uk/newsletter

Grace and Goliath DVD

£10.99 (+ £3.99 Shipping)

Grace and Goliath will scoop you up in its mighty arms and carry you on an emotional but hugely enjoyable roller coaster! A Hollywood big shot, (and he knows it!) Josh Jenkins sweeps into Belfast to make a movie, but before long his world crashes and he loses everything. Lily (a hotel cleaner) invites him to stay with her family and gradually the people of this ‘strange’ city touch his heart, forever. A powerful story of how one man’s GOLIATH ego is brought down by one single blow...of GRACE!

Dir: Tony Mitchell – UK – 2018 – 90 mins – Cert: PG – in English
