In this podcast we talk to Joan Burney Keatings MBE, CEO of Cinemagic. Cinemagic is a local charity, founded in Belfast over 30 years ago, and each year they put on the Cinemagic International Television and Film Festival for young people which is running for the month of October in 2020.
We talked about:

- the challenges of scheduling a festival during a global pandemic
- how parents can encourage their kids to use technology and encourage creativity in the home while staying safe
- the booming TV industry in NI at the moment and how young people can embrace the opportunities that will come from that
