Welcome

Gareth Ellis-Unwin Tina McFarling Kate Wilson

We have programmed another action packed festival full of fantastic film screenings including special premieres, international feature films, documentaries, shorts, foreign language films and education screenings. Throughout the festival Cinemagic will also be offering young people the opportunity to take part in practical events including industry workshops, exciting masterclasses and our extensive education programme for schools. I also want to wish the festival ‘CineFocus’ juries lots of luck when judging the films in this year’s ‘official’ competition.

2016 promises to be an extremely busy year for Cinemagic as we continue to provide lots of new and exciting opportunities for our audience. We look forward to developing our cross-border

activities where young people from different backgrounds will get to interact with each other and learn about the world of film and filmmaking.

Practical opportunities will include our film critic panels, film academies, Q&A’s, Cinemagic Young Filmmaker, our Young Consultants programme and much, much more!

Finally, I would like to thank each of our funders and loyal industry professionals who have put their trust in us and remain committed to providing amazing opportunities for young people.

And to you, the audience, thank you for supporting and being part of the largest Film and Television Festival for Young People in the UK and Ireland.

The Case of Hana and Alice

Sat 21 May 11.00am Cineworld €7.90

Sat 21 May 1.00pm Cineworld €7.90

Two teens grow up fast in the wake of an unexpected pregnancy, in this gently realistic debut feature from Belgian director Guillaume Senez. Maxime and Mélanie are a typical teenage couple. Like most love struck fifteen-year-olds, they can’t get enough of each other and they think they’ll be together forever.

But when Mélanie becomes pregnant, their worlds are rocked! Being young is not all about having fun and Keeper reminds us that the burden of adult decisions does not fall to adults alone.

Alice has just moved to town with her recently divorced mother. Things start to get complicated when she’s bullied in her new school after being given the seat of a murdered student. Determined to find out what happened, Alice begins investigating the death. She soon meets Hana, her young strange neighbour who is convinced that their deceased classmate is still alive. The Case of Hana and Alice uses retroscoping, which uses live action footage played by the original actors and traces it frame by frame to make animation.

Please note: Strong language and sex references.

Dryads – Girls Don’t Cry

Sun 22 May 10.15am Cineworld €7.90

When the mysterious band The Dryads moves into the crumbling old house next door, Hilde suddenly finds excitement in her dull suburban life. She falls under the spell of the band’s charismatic singer only to learn that being cool has a price! Dryads – Girls Don’t Cry is a sensitive coming-of-age film with music video stylisation and a great soundtrack. This is the debut feature by director Sten Hellevig.

Following the mysterious death of the school outsider, six teenage girls discover they have acquired supernatural powers as part of an ancient prophecy. Can these young witches come together to save the world from predatory demons? Adapted from the Swedish young adult series, the Engelsfors trilogy, this dark fantasy film is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Twilight. Produced and scored by Benny Andersson (ABBA) and directed and co-written by Levan Akin.

In an ancient land where humans and monsters uneasily coexist, two humans - a bumbling villager and a skilled monster hunter - must protect a baby monster from the many factions that seek to destroy it! A charming and quirky fantasy adventure from director Raman Hui. Monster Hunt was a runaway hit in its native China when released last year. It sat on top of the box-office charts for four weeks in a row breaking numerous records, including the fastest film to hit 1 billion yuan.

In fact at the end of 2015 this live action/animation hybrid had surpassed Fast and Furious 7 to take the all-time box-office record.

Dofus – Book 1: Julith Sun 22 May 1.00pm Cineworld €7.90 Set in the majestic city of Bonta, young Joris happily whiles away his days in the magic shop owned by his adoptive father, Kerubim Crépin. But one day, when he decides to approach his lifelong idol, a Boufbowl megastar, he is gripped by a strange premonition. A premonition that may well put the entire city in jeopardy! Things get even worse when Julith the witch arrives back in town looking for revenge! With help from his friends, will Joris manage to save the day?

Inspired from the famous role-playing game created by the French studio Ankama the movie lies at the crossroads of the stories developed in the successful online multiplayer game, the animated TV series and the comic books.

Depicting the trials and tribulations of contemporary teenage life on an urban estate, Prince is a unique and quirky black comedy with a breathtaking visual style and electric score. The stunning art direction along with the theme of family dysfunction can be seen as a nod to indie filmmakers such as Wes Anderson. Hugely entertaining and a brilliant representation of youth on the edge.

Mon 16 May 10.30am – 12.00pm Participating School (We Come to You!) 15 – 18 year olds €5.00 per student

More Information: The Academy will provide young filmmakers with an invaluable insight to all aspects of filmmaking as well as teaching them essential skills.

A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film, stage production or television. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with depth and colour.

The shapes, colours and textures that a costume designer chooses make an immediate and powerful visual statement to the audience. Creative collaboration among the costume designer, the director and the set and lighting engineers is essential to ensure that the costumes are smoothly integrated into the production as a whole.

The young people will be assigned individual roles on the film crew and must ensure that they are available from 9th – 13th May for training and filming.

How to apply: All training and filming will take place in Dublin. Young people are expected to make their own way to and from training and filming each day. No previous experience is necessary. We welcome applications from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. You need to be between the ages of 18 and 25 when applying. You must be able to commit to the programme for its duration.

Please download an application form on www. cinemagic.ie or email shauna@cinemagic.ie

Costume Designer Breege Fahy (Game of Thrones, Run & Jump, Becoming Jane, Northanger Abbey) will team up with Cinemagic to visit a lucky school during the festival and introduce students to the exciting world of Costume Design. This will be an excellent introduction to a craft that is crucial to the look, tone and feel of film and television productions.

A Syrian Love Story

VFX in Brooklyn With Windmill Lane

Tues 17 May 10.30am – 1.00pm Cineworld 15 – 18 year olds €5.00 per student A Syrian Love Story - Amer and Raghda met in a Syrian prison cell, both jailed for crimes against the state, initially communicating through a hole in the wall. They fell in love, and, when they were released, they got married and started a family.

Acclaimed filmmaker Sean McAllister enters their lives prior to the wave of resistance that became known as the Arab Spring, when Raghda was back in prison and Amer is at home taking care of

their young children. He visited them frequently over five tumultuous years. This is a profoundly moving account of two love stories: that between the film’s central couple, Amer and Raghda, who are torn apart by imprisonment and exile; the other being their love for Syria, which casts a long shadow over their lives, their marriage and their children. Winner of Grand Jury Prize, Sheffield Doc/Fest.

After the screening BAFTA nominated filmmaker Sean McAllister will take part in a Q&A discussion to share his extraordinary journey and experiences while making the film.

Wed 18 May 10.30am – 1.00pm Participating School (We Come to You!) 12 – 18 year olds €5.00 per student In 2015 Windmill Lane was chosen as the lead VFX studio on the multi-award winning feature film Brooklyn. Led by VFX supervisor Andy Clarke, the Windmill Lane team was tasked with creating 60 invisible VFX shots including 3D matte paintings to digitally create 1950’s Manhattan and Coney Island. The film was shot in Ireland and

Canada, which doubled for the New York borough, meaning much of the VFX work involved adding iconic landmarks of the area to the photography.

Brooklyn’s Producer Alan Moloney writes ‘The fact that you don’t know where their work begins and ends is a testament to Windmill’s visual effects team’!

Windmill Lane will partner up with Cinemagic to visit a lucky school during the festival to lead a presentation on their work on Brooklyn (Cert: 12A) before a screening of the film.

This exquisitely crafted, action-packed fable from Wolf Children director Mamoru Hosoda, one of the true masters of Japanese animation, follows

nine-year-old Ren. On the run after the death of his mother, Ren stumbles into a parallel world inhabited by supernatural creatures. The bear-like warrior Kumatetsu decides to accept Ren as his apprentice and the bond between boy and beast grows as they train together in martial arts and sword-fighting. It’s the beginning of a friendship that will be tested to the limit when the worlds of humans and beasts collide. A life-affirming salute to loyalty, sacrifice and salvation.

F-Rating: Representing Women in Film

24

Special Effects Make-Up in Film With MKF Institute

Thurs 19 May 10.30am – 1.00pm Cineworld 12 – 18 year olds €5.00 per student The F-rating is new film classification to change who tells the stories we see on screen and thereby shift the inner narratives of audiences. Every film which answers yes to the one of the following questions receives the F-rating stamp of approval: 1. Does it have a female director? 2. Is it written by a woman? 3. Is/are there complex female characters on screen who exist in their own right

(and aren’t simply there to support the male lead)? The F-rating exists to shine a light on the amazing work that women are doing in film, and to encourage critics to review these films, audiences to go to them and ultimately, for studios to make more of them.

F-Rating founder Holly Tarquini will be on hand to talk about the origins of F-Rating, to speak about the importance of such a classification outlet as well as to answer student questions before a screening of Suffragette (Cert: 12A) a film that follows the F-rating ethos.

Special Effects is without a doubt a highly creative and fun area in make-up artistry. It allows you to create any creature you can imagine, as whacky or scary as your heart desires! It also serves a real purpose. With storylines becoming more sensational and technology more sophisticated, special effects is becoming an increasingly important element of both film and theatrical productions. Join special effects artists from MKF as they teach students the basic skills and techniques of make-up artistry. www.mkfinstitute.com

LOVEMOVIES.IE supported by The Industry Trust for IP Awareness and Cinemagic have joined forces on a new cross-border schools film initiative #ProtectCreativity taking place this June.

Schools from both sides of the border are invited to a very special surprise preview film in The Arc Drogheda and in Eclipse Cinemas Lifford. Primary Schools and Post-Primary Schools are encouraged to participate in order to foster cross-border interaction through the medium of film.

In advance of the event the schools involved will be given a copy of LOVEMOVIES.IE ‘How to Make a Movie’ which provides an overview of the filmmaking process - from development through to exhibition.

Teachers will also be given the tools to create materials around Copyright Protection issues, plus a range of structured classroom activities linked to filmmaking and careers in film.

To register your interest in securing FREE places to the film previews please email claire@cinemagic.ie
