The theme of the 21st Foyle Film Festival is ‘Cinema Closeup’, and reflects the tone of many of the films in the 2008 programme. All the movies screening in this year’s festival give fascinating glimpses into extraordinary stories – real and fictional.
The Cinemagic Film Festival programme has been launched and includes more than 100 film screenings and over 40 different workshops, competitions, masterclasses and film-related events. The Coca-Cola Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival For Young People opens on 13th November and runs until the end of November in various Belfast venues including Movie House Cinemas, Odeon and Queen’s Film Theatre.
