The Festival’s Artistic Director, Sandra Hebron, said: "We’re delighted to be able to open and close the festival with these two strong, distinctive films which celebrate film making which is both assured and imaginative. Although very different in tone and style, the films share a social relevance and a progressive world view, and are bold and inventive in their approach."
That's the bread. We'll bring you the filling after the official press launch next month.
