‘Film Ireland’ are proud to present the winners of the 2009 Cinemagic Young Film Critics Competition. The winners in the three age categories were: 9-year-old Nathan Lyons Duffy, 12-year-old Siúbhan O’Donnell and 14-year-old Eoin Murphy.
My Name is Nathan and I am in third class in Catholic University School. My friend Louis asked Cinemagic about the Jonas Brothers movie. They very kindly gave my whole class tickets to the premiere of the movie.
My name is Siúbhan O’Donnell and I went to see this movie on Wednesday the 13th May. This movie was basically just a concert with a few boring clips of the Jonas Brothers and their fans, there is really not much more to say.
‘Great cooking is not for the faint of heart. You must be imaginative, strong hearted; you must try things that may not work and you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul. What I say is true, anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great’. This is a thought-provoking line from Disney Pixar’s Ratatouille. The line dares the audience the follow their dreams and achieve their aspirations – to attain greatness, regardless of what others may say.
Cinemagic has launched its annual call for young film enthusiasts, aged 10–18, to take on the role of film consultants and help select the films for this year’s festival. The Coca-Cola Cinemagic International Film & Television Festival for Young People will take place in Belfast from 18th November–4th December 2009.
