Is
the next Barry or Jonathan among us?
YOUNG people in
Southport can swap popcorn for pen & paper and become Young Film
Reviewer of the Year. Young film fans have a chance to make their
feelings on film heard with the launch of a competition to discover
hidden critical talent. The Young Film Reviewer of the Year has been
launched by Connexions Card, the smartcard designed to motivate 16
to 19 year olds by rewarding them for attendance and achievement at
school, college or work-based learning and Vue Cinemas, with support
from
their local cinema at Ocean Drive.
Anyone aged 15 to 19 and fed up with taking their lead from adults
on what makes a blockbuster or a tragic turkey is eligible for
entry. All they require is a pen and paper or access to email.
Judges will be looking for creative writing about not only
the film they¹ve watched but a piece of writing that captures the
entire cinema experience to convey exactly what its like watching a
film in Southport.
For tips on film reviewing and how to enter, young people can either
go to www.connexionscard.com or www.myvue.com/students or visit
their local Vue Cinema, Ocean Drive, Marine Drive for a flyer.
Entrants must send a short and sweet review (600 words) of one of
the following films on general release before the closing date of
Monday 24 October 2005:-
• Pride and Prejudice
• The Longest Yard
• Oliver Twist
• Goal!
• Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Budding reviewers can take any angle they want; from the way the
film made them feel, the reaction to a specific scene or an actor¹s
performance and put their personal stamp on it. The reviews can be
as bold, creative, witty or as bitchy as they like, as long as
they’re clean. The winning Young Film Reviewer of the Year will win
an amazing home cinema system and TV,
plus a 6 month pass to watch films at any Vue Cinema across Britain
free of charge. 5 runners-up will also receive a pass for 3 months.
Dan Jolin, Reviews Editor, Empire magazine and chair of the judging
panel offers some advice:- “A good review is knowledgeable and
authoritative as well as lively, original and engaging for its
readers. This is a film review competition with a difference, the
young film reviewer must write a piece that captures the entire
cinema experience from the perspective of someone living in
Southport.”.
