Presented by Palace, the British Film Festival's full programme has been revealed, celebrating the best of British in a remarkable line-up of 31 films.
Excellent performances from Festival favourites and brilliant newcomers will delight audiences and ignite their senses in a lineup which includes the best contemporary cinema, documentaries and the chance to experience some of the most significant British films of the 1970s on the big screen.
Highlights include Kenneth Branagh's BELFAST, a personal eulogy to his hometown, starring Jamie Dornan and Judi Dench; Edgar Wright's psychological horror fantasy LAST NIGHT IN SOHO starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie; the highly anticipated OPERATION MINCEMEAT starring Colin Firth and Matthew McFadyen, based on the Allies' deception effort to keep the Allied invasion of Italy hidden and outwit German troops in WW2; and THE LAST BUS a touching adventure across Britain starring Timothy Spall.
