A Message of Support It gives me great pleasure to send my warmest wishes to the Cinemagic Dublin 2011 Festival. Cinemagic is an inspirational festival that allows young people to discover, develop and strengthen their skills in relation to television and filmmaking. The festival is also a wonderful opportunity for young people to expand their horizons and explore new genres of film and television programmes. Ireland has a strong international reputation, particularly in the film industry, and Cinemagic’s masterclasses, education programmes and workshops may well be the first step for future Irish success in film and television. I wish all involved a most successful and enjoyable festival in 2011. Mary McAleese President of Ireland

Cinemagic Young Consultant Panel

Film Ireland Mentors

The Dublin jury will also meet up with the 2010 Cinemagic Young Consultants. Last year the consultants helped decide what new international films Cinemagic would screen during their 17 day film festival in Belfast. They also helped design the programme, came up with ideas for radio ads and wrote film reviews.

Film journalists and critics from Film Ireland will be on hand to offer advice to our young jury members and guide them through the basics of ﬁlm critiquing. Jury members will also get the chance to write reviews on the competition ﬁlms screened. These reviews will then be published on the Film Ireland website.

All you have to do is write us an imaginative letter or email (300 words max.) telling us why we should choose you to be a member of the jury.

The participants of the Cinemagic International Film Camp had never met as a group before last August but had a shared interest in the film industry and they were tasked with the challenge of creating a short film in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter in just five days. The end product was a short film entitled Gone that was premiered on Ulster Television last summer as part of a fly on the wall documentary over five days, it was also screened to mark the 2nd Cinemagic Los Angeles Festival, in Hamilton High School, where the Ballyfermot young people along with their counterparts from Belfast introduced it.

Cinemagic is a great organization providing educational and cultural opportunities for young people on an international scale and bringing them together to inspire and motivate. For the last 20 years they have done some incredible work and I am very proud to be associated with them.

Julian Fellowes Cinemagic Ci i provides id a rare opportunity t it ffor young people to learn about the reality of a life in the Arts. Many come from homes where a career in ﬁlms or theatre might seem a million miles away from reality, but Cinemagic bridges that gap with the chance to meet directors, actors, writers, musicians, who can help them to ﬁnd the right way forward. In other words, these boys and girls can break the glass wall that seems to separate them from their own ambitions. That they come from both sides of the border and from different religious and economic backgrounds only adds to my enthusiasm. Well done, Cinemagic.

Dermot O’Leary I have been involved with Cinemagic for several years. Both the commitment of the staff and the participants makes me proud to be patron. Cinemagic stands for allowing young people access to the world of Film and Television irrespective of their background. It is worthwhile and a great way to foster talent at the grass roots of the industry.

Brian Cox I am always struck with the commitment and passion of Ireland’s young people. The humour and talent of these children impresses me immensely. This year promises to be a fantastic festival, all the team and the many volunteers will no doubt again bring unique and exciting opportunities to the young people of Northern Ireland.
