Funding from Northern Ireland Screen and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure has enabled Cinemagic to provide primary and post-primary schools with the necessary support to run a weekly or fortnightly After School Film Club as part of extended school day activities*.
In order to set up a Film Club a teacher must be prepared to organize and run the club. Initial training, ongoing support and advice will be provided throughout the project by Cinemagic. Schools must also have a suitable space that has a digital projector, DVD player, speakers and a screen or blank wall, where the film club can meet. Schools are able to choose and order films directly from FILMCLUB (www.filmclub.org) and have access to a catalogue of 4000 films. At each meeting of the Film Club the young people have the opportunity to view and discuss a film and place individual film reviews online. A similar project is running in England and for further information visit www.filmclub.org
*This offer is open only to schools that have received Extended School Day funding. Email laura@cinemagic.org.uk or telephone 028 90 311 900 to request an application form.
