Welcome to the 18th Bath Film Festival. Seeing a film at the festival isn’t like going to the cinema. As well as offering you the opportunity to see films that you won’t catch anywhere else, at a Bath Film Festival screening you’ll be one of a band of fellow travellers, gathered together in a spirit of celebration of everything the cinema has to offer…

Warner Brothers Studios celebrate 85 years in 2008. To mark the occasion (and the publication of a sumptuous book) we screen the documentary of the book You Must Remember This by Richard Schickel and George Perry and three Warners films from their ‘golden age’: the 1930s – ‘50s.
Inspired by our screening of The Adventures of Prince Achmed on Saturday 8 November, we’re offering some fabulous animation labs, and a celebration of inspirational animation Think About Animation – From Gertie to Wall-E.
