De-Lovely is our first showcase screening.
Irwin Winkler's quirky, joyous film is a sparkling celebration of one of America's most loved composers - Cole Porter. Starring Kevin Kline with Ashley Judd it's de-lightful, de-licious, de-lectable, it's de-lovely.

-> Closing Night - Sunday 8th August <-
Before Sunset is the film which been chosen to close this years festival.
In 1995, nine years ago, a small unconventional indie film called Before Sunrise charted a chance encounter on a train between Celine, a Frenchwoman, and Jesse, an American man. It's nine years on; it's Paris; it's before sunset. And now they finally reconnect.
Richard Linklater and his two leads, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy combine talents to create this superb indie sequel.
