programme launch
teachers’ Launch
The launch of Cinemagic London 2014 was marked with a series of film and television events on the 2nd and 3rd
April for young people, schools, teachers and festival partners.
Education Launch (Primary)
On the 2nd April Cinemagic screened a preview of the new animated film Khumba – A Zebra’s Tale for primary
school children in Cineworld, Haymarket. The film has an all-star voice cast including Steve Buscemi, Laurence
Fishburne, Catherine Tate, Richard E Grant and Cinemagic patron Liam Neeson! Thank you to Kaleidoscope Film
Distribution for this screening.
KHUMBA
A ZEBRA’S TALE
Half a zebra, a whole lot of adventure - in 3D!
Rejected by his superstitious herd, a half-striped
zebra embarks on a daring quest to earn his
stripes; but when he discovers a tyrannical
leopard on his trail, he must find the courage
and self-acceptance to save all the animals of
the Great Karoo.
Cinemagic teamed up with the BBFC on the 2nd April to offer secondary school students the chance to learn about
film classification at BFI Southbank.
THAT’S CLASSIFIED!
Motivating Young People To Learn Through The Use Of Film
And Filmmaking.
The session, hosted at the BFI, focused on “Motivating Young
People To Learn Through The Use Of Film And Filmmaking”
and examined the use of the three Ss: Story, Setting and
Sound, and the three Cs: Colour, Character and Camera,
as an introductory method of analysing film texts. The
session explored theoretical aspects linked to literacy as
well as practical approaches to filmmaking, focused around
characterisation. Into Film’s training programmes explore
film’s ability to engage students and help them to connect
with the curriculum by inspiring their innate curiosity in the
world. Into Film’s downloadable materials for teachers include
the use of film to help students develop literacy, analytical and
technical skills and promote deep and active learning.
One of the highlights of the festival launch was a special
reception in the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, on
the 3rd April, at which invited young people, educators,
Cinemagic patrons and guests from the small and big
screen enjoyed a showcase of the far-reaching work of
Cinemagic and how it creates unique opportunities that
educate, motivate and inspire its participants. Industry
professionals Dermot O’Leary, Gareth Ellis-Unwin and
Jessica Malik talked about their experiences working
with the festival and highlighted the importance of
supporting and nurturing young people through the
medium of film and television.

genre study – the war film
with Euroscript
War puts us into the most extreme situations, bringing
out both our best and worst qualities. As well as being
the ultimate “extension of politics,” warfare tests our
morals, beliefs and individual psychology, subjecting
them to the most intense pressure imaginable – often
to the point of destruction.
It follows that the War Film is a broad genre. Some
seem to be historical documents, giving us believable
reconstructions of events; others blast off into the
realms of fantasy or black humour to make their
satirical points. Some want to rally us behind the fight

for a “just cause;” others see warfare of every kind as
total stupidity.
Illustrated with powerful and entertaining clips, this
seminar provides an overview of the themes and ideas
behind the War Film. It shows how the genre can
express love and hate, nobility and degradation, as it
sets out the reasons why we fight each other.
Led by writer, teacher, script editor and story consultant
Ian Long. Ian teaches genre workshops for Euroscript.

live with a foster family in World War II Germany. She learns to read with
encouragement from her new family and Max, a Jewish refugee who
they are hiding under the stairs. For Liesel and Max, the power of words
and imagination become the only escape from the tumultuous events
happening around them. The Book Thief is a life-affirming story of survival
and of the resilience of the human spirit.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
+ Q&A with Julie Dawn Cole (A.K.A Veruca Salt)
Cinemagic is delighted to welcome Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt) to the festival. Julie will introduce today’s
screening and take part in a Q&A after the film!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - The story of Charlie Bucket, a little boy with no money and a good heart,
who dreams wistfully of being able to buy the candy that other children enjoy. Charlie enters into a magical world
when he wins one of five ‘Golden Tickets’ to visit the mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy
Wonka and run by his capable crew of Oompa-Loompas. Once behind the gates, a cast of characters join Charlie
and Grandpa Joe on a journey to discover that a kind heart is a far finer possession than a sweet tooth.
