Movie magic comes to town


The second Cheltenham Film Festival is ready to roll and it’s set to be a blockbuster.



The festival from 4-6 November includes an audience with TV film pundit Barry Norman, an interview with playwright Steven Berkoff, and a showing of the 1924 silent film Piccadilly at the Daffodil Restaurant, the splendid Art Deco former picture palace in Suffolk Parade.



Target is sponsoring the festival by handling the PR. Festival director Adam Clarke admitted the team’s support has been invaluable. “Target has been with us from day one – the word ‘godsend’ doesn’t even begin to cover how brilliant they’ve been,” said Adam, who is juggling his festival work with his PhD studies, while his co-director Martin Pilkington is a full-time teacher.



Target’s Chief Executive Sarah Bryars said: “Adam and Martin’s enthusiasm means there’s never a dull moment. We’re proud to be involved and really excited about the weekend.


“We’re all planning a Target night out to watch the screening of ‘Upside Down – The Creation Records Story’ which will be followed by a special club night at Thirteen Degrees.”

Most of the festival events take place in the Parabola Arts Centre. For more info and to buy tickets visit www.cheltenhamfilmfestival.com
