TUESDAY 16TH JUNE – MONDAY 22ND JUNE
Like many of our fellow film festivals and arts organisations, the next few months will see us switching focus to produce a lot more online content. We are fully committed to continue to provide our audience with a programme of high quality films, practical creative opportunities and film education resources.
Paper Owl have provided Cinemagic with x 3 short films, from their award-winning portfolio, to offer to children and families to watch at home before inviting the young people to send in their reviews. The showcase will include Laura Robinson’s short film debut ‘Far Isle’; the stunning short film ‘Lucas’ created by Ethan McLean and an episode from the Irish Language nature magazine show ‘Na Dulradóirí’.
The project is aimed to engage with children and families who are spending more time at home during times of social distancing; and with the film review element we hope to generate lots of discussion and debate as well as helping to develop crossover analytical skills.
The programme is FREE to access for all children, families and young people in Northern Ireland and Ireland.
To sign-up to the programme please contact us via the link below.
