KIWI + STRIT IRISH PREMIERE

A MESSAGE OF SUPPORT The Department of Education is delighted to continue its support for the Dublin Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival in 2021. Since 2008, the festival has provided a unique opportunity for young people to view new film from around the world and to gain an insight into the world of film-making and to learn from industry professionals through participation in masterclasses and workshops. Cinemagic initiatives provide young people from both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland with unique opportunities to engage and interact with each other, based on their shared interests in film and the creative industries.

The two funny and furry little creatures Kiwi and Strit live in a clearing in the forest. Kiwi is considerate, careful and yellow, while Strit is wild and purple and they have very different approaches to almost everything. But they are both very playful and curious. The two best friends discover new places that allow for new adventures and friendships. Join them on a series of hilarious adventures as they find themselves in trouble over and over again!
