As part of Cine-Fest we are running a Junior Reporter competition for budding reporters aged 12 years and under. To enter, download a Press Pass from here..  Fill in the pass and bring it along to the movie of your choice. Get it stamped as you enter the movie, and then write us a movie review (you may want to bring your reporter’s pencil and paper to take notes!) You can enter reviews of as many movies as you like – just make sure you complete a press pass for each and get it stamped as you enter. The entries will be judged in 2 age categories and the winning entries will be printed in the next issue of West Of The Taieri. The winners will receive a Movie voucher. Remember, you can see which movies we are screening and what time they are on by following the Events / cine-fest links.

Not sure what the correct collective noun for movies is but we certainly have a plethora of them confirmed for Cine-Fest now… we were hoping for something for everyone and I think we’ve done a pretty good job (all credit to Lisa – I dread to think of the debt of favours she has run up in the name of Cine-Fest) For the family and kids we have Bugsy Malone The Secret Of Moonacre Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs To appeal to the 16+ audience we’ll be showing Scarfies We’ll also be showing a couple of doco’s..
