The workshops are the first return to live events for the film festival charity in Dublin since 2019 due to the virtual nature of lockdown events. There are special film screenings of family favourites, some introduced by special guests, to bring the magic of the movies alive for young audiences. On screen offerings include a Double Bill Superworm/The Snail and The Whale, a Double Bill We’re Going on A Bear Hunt / The Bear, classic book adaptation The Iron Giant, and a 40th Anniversary screening of The Last Unicorn. A Film Academy will bring together students to work under the guidance of film industry professionals in the production of a new short film giving aspiring filmmakers an insight to the different disciplines on a film set. Young people passionate about movie watching and critiquing can get involved to watch and review new films at our Young Film Consultants Screenings and Workshops on 7th August. Young Filmmakers aged 4-25 who have already crafted a short or wish to take on a summer challenge are invited to submit their short films to the Cinemagic Young Filmmaker competition for 2022 and the entry deadline is 1 August. Joan Burney Keatings, Cinemagic CEO said “I really encourage young audiences to embrace the magic of the movies and come out to try something new, find out about the film and television industry and get motivated. We are delighted with the support of our funders and partners to be able to return to live events to offer that much needed creative environment for young people to develop talents and be inspired.” Booking and information HERE www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/cinemagic-9888512418 The programme is supported by The Department of Education and Skills.

On Thursday the 12th of May, a group of TY, 5th & 6th year students travelled from Scoil Mhuire to Knock Shrine for Donal Walsh’s anniversary mass. We arrived for registration with over 2000 other students and teachers from schools across the country in the Knock Basilica. It was an action packed day including excellent guest speakers such as Paul Galvin, Lisa Fallon, Annette Kelly & Fr John Harris. There were a choice of workshops for students to attend and a chance to fill holy water bottles to bring back to Clane. Mass was then celebrated in Donal’s Memory and Fionnbar and Elma Walsh spoke bravely about their son and his important message of #livelife. Well done to the students who travelled to Knock and who represented themselves and the school so well on the day.

Today, over 40 5th yr and Transition Year girls attended a most enlightening workshop offered through The Digital Forum initiative - a STEM support group to encourage females to explore STEM careers. Led by Giuseppe Macera from AMD Technology - a Digital Circuit company; the workshop explored attitudes to technology careers, how technology pervades our daily lives and how technology enables so much of what we do. Hopefully this workshop will encourage the students to research careers and college courses in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths - STEM areas - an area in which not enough females are qualified or employed.
