Introducing our Young Reviewers!
This year we have joined forces with Fighting Words to bring together a team of young festival reviewers who will watch films during the four days of our Family Festival. Their reviews will be published each day here on the IFI website.
Our team for the IFI Family Festival is: Beibhinn, Fionn, Máire, Sophie, Jessica and Jed. They have been working really hard over the past couple of weekends attending workshops at Fighting Words and the IFI. They have discovered just what the job of a film critic is, previewed a selection of films from the IFI Family Festival programme and had fun exploring the IFI cinemas.
Now they’ll get a chance to tell you just what they think of our Festival Films.
Check back here daily to read their reviews!
