Do you enjoy watching films? Would you like to share your views on what you see on the screen with others? Ever thought of being a film critic?
If so, this year’s Coca-Cola Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival for Young People is currently selecting a jury panel of 10 to 18 year olds to watch and judge short and feature films.
