Bath Highlights – Bath Film Festival 2009
One of the undoubted highlights in Bath this autumn is the return of the Bath Film Festival. This year festival organizers have promises one of the strongest line ups yet. Around a quarter of all screenings will be previews of films yet to be released in the UK which will be accompanied by the creative talents behind them. Along with the previews cinemas around the city will also be showing the very best in recent documentaries, sporting films as well as a few little gems which have not been seen in the city before. This years festival will be taking place between the 12th – 21st November 2009.
Some of the films previews include the new Steven Soderbergh film The Informant starring Matt Damon. Stephen Poliakoff will present his new film Glorious 39 at the festival in person. The film is set on the cusp of the Second World War and center around the Keyes family who idyllic family life begins to fall apart then a batch of gramophone records are discovered. Poliakoff examines a time when inhuman decisions were made and family bonds play second to concerns of the nation. The film stars Romola Garai (recently seen in the BBC’s adaptation of Emma and Atonement), Bill Nighy and Eddie Redmayne (The Good Shepherd, The Other Boleyn Girl and Tess of the D’Urbervilles)
