Some highlights of this year’s festival include:

Romantic comedy Wicker. Starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, a fable about an ostracised fisherwoman and the sexy husband she wishes for.

Historical drama The Uprising stars Andrew Garfield as a grief-stricken labourer in the 14^th century who ignites a peasant’s revolt. The films also stars Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane and Katherine Waterston.

Documentary Parky is an intimate portrait of ‘the king of the chat show’ Sir Michael Parkinson. Over a career spanning five decades, Britain’s greatest interviewer was beloved by millions and knighted by the Queen. His legendary interview subjects ranged from Muhammad Ali to Billy Connolly, Kylie Minogue, Bob Hawke, Madonna, and  Sir David Attenborough, many of whom feature in this revealing documentary.

Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy lead the cast of Savage House, a darkly comedic, cautionary tale of greed, ambition and power. Two desperate social climbers in 18^th century England sacrifice everything to host the aspirational dinner party of their dreams, in this sumptuously crafted period piece.

The much-loved Bill Nighy stars in the poignant drama , 500 Miles which follows a broken family that must come together as two young brothers embark on an epic journey to reunite with their estranged grandfather. Set across breathtaking landscapes of Ireland, 500 MILES explores the complexities of families and the forces that pull them apart and reunite them.

Writer-director Nick Moorcraft (Fisherman’s Friends: One and All, BFF22) returns with Mother’s Pride, a heartfelt comedy. Jonno Davies stars as Cal, a man rediscovering purpose and connection as he returns to his small country hometown. After a series of misfortunes, he works to re-invigorate his family’s pub which is on the brink of closure.
