About Cinemagic
Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Cinemagic is an award-winning, charitable film festival for young people that has, over the last 30 years, inspired and motivated young people through film and creative opportunities. Cinemagic annually delivers activity in Belfast, Dublin, London, New York, Boston and Los Angeles. In the last 5 years Cinemagic has produced two feature films, A Christmas Star and Grace and Goliath, and has produced over 100 short films. Patrons include Liam Neeson, Pierce Brosnan, Saoirse Ronan, Julian Fellowes, Colin Farrell, Dermot O’Leary, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Suranne Jones.
The festival was conceived as a cultural antidote and a creative arena for self-expression for young people during the Troubles. For 30 years the organisation has led the way in using film exhibition and production as a vehicle to inspire and engage young people and it has provided a vital outlet for independent cinema showcasing and promoting a film programme that offers a unique window to the world. The sustained quality and considered nature of the festival’s cultural programming and the calibre of industry events, guests and film showcases marks Cinemagic out as the premier youth arts organisation in Northern Ireland which also fervently supports and nurtures young filmmaking talent.
As well as providing an essential safe and welcoming space for local cinema-lovers and the arts community in general, the role the festival has played in uniting communities and its dedication to promoting inclusivity is significant and contributes to Northern Ireland’s strengths as a creative and dynamic destination. Through innovative programmes of exciting masterclasses, workshops, screenings, film education, filmmaking and unique insights to the industry that have led the way in engaging young people with film, the Cinemagic Festival strives to inspire and motivate a new generation of filmmakers and young creatives.
