Kim Gastinel Guern
PUPIL QUOTE
“During my time in the sixth form, I have most enjoyed the study of films as part of my French and
German A Level courses - so much so, that I have decided to study Film & Theatre at Queen’s
University Belfast. The way that the directors use different filming techniques and the way that a
writer chooses their words are just two of the curiosities about films that I look forward to studying
at a higher level. I am excited about the new challenges and opportunities that studying at
university will bring, and thank my teachers at KCA for their support along the way.”
TEACHER QUOTE
Kim is an extremely talented linguist and it has been an absolute pleasure to see Kim flourish year
on year in German lessons. Kim’s love for cinema was clear from the beginning of Year 12,
providing a wealth of convincing interpretations and analytical responses in written compositions. ,
which reflected a growing awareness of the German culture and deeper engagement when
exploring cinematic techniques. Many congratulations on receiving a place at Queen’s University
Belfast. Jump cut ten years, and I look forward to seeing your name on the billboards of Cannes!
