Cinemagic Young Filmmaker 2020 will take place online during the Cinemagic International Film Festival in October.

The event will showcase the best short film entries of the year and the Festival will also be producing a series of online workshops and master classes with renowned members of the film and TV industry.

An award and prize will be presented to the Young Filmmaker of the Year in each competition age category - the winning entries will also be screened during the Cinemagic International Film Festival For Young People in 2021.
