Closer to home though screenings are being held at various places including the British Library’s St Pancras building, the Guildhall in Gloucester.
Some of the highlights of this summer’s Festival Programme include the stop motion animation, Notes on Biology, and the BAFTA award winning A Morning Stroll.
