Cinemagic Young Filmmaker Ruby Phelan introduces her film THE MERMAID & THE ARTIST. THE MERMAID & THE ARTIST was shortlisted in the Animation category at Cinemagic Young Filmmaker 2020. THE MERMAID & THE ARTIST: A modern morality tale exploring the male gaze. A lonely and uninspired artist spies a mermaid on the beach and becomes obsessed by her image. Endeavouring to capture her in his art he descends into dreams and nightmares. The mermaid, being a living and breathing being, has thoughts and ideas of her own. This subverts the classical siren tale and explores the female body as an objectified muse. It is an ancient folklore tale shifted to a different perspective. YOUNG FILMMAKER SPOTLIGHT: This series showcases the very best short films directed by young filmmakers with insight into the filmmaking process with cast and crew introductions. Cinemagic Young Filmmaker 2021 is open for submissions on FilmFreeway https://filmfreeway.com/CinemagicYoungFilmmaker CINEMAGIC ON SOCIAL https://www.facebook.com/CinemagicFestival http://www.Twitter.com/Cinemagic https://www.instagram.com/cinemagic_filmfestival/ https://www.cinemagic.org.uk #YoungFilmmaker #Cinemagic

Join us for our 'Career Craft' tutorial series where young people can learn practical skills, receive careers advice and hear from top professionals working in the Film and TV industry. This online tutorial demonstrates how to make a small model/prop from materials that are readily available in most homes. For the demonstration Andrew will be making a small animal sculpture, but the principle involved can be expanded out for any kind of prop or model making, especially if the shapes are organic. You will only need x 2 materials for this tutorial – tinfoil and masking tape.

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
