Young Consultants
A film festival for Young People, designed by Young People.
Continuing the success of the Cinemagic Young Consultants from
previous years let us introduce you to the class of 2018.
Hello, we’re the 2018 Young Consultants and we all met up in July to help Cinemagic programme a
selection of this year’s festival films. We watched a series of short films and feature films from around
the world, reviewed and critiqued them and most importantly decided what films should be selected
for the festival. We guarantee there is something to suit everyone’s taste - from exclusive previews,
world cinema and family favourites, there is a feast of film to enjoy.
