And that’s only the start. The line-up includes such varied films as David Howard’s Flick, Peter Greenaway’s Nightwatching (starring Martin Freeman) and a new short piece by Mike Figgis called Life Captured.

It starts on Wednesday 1st October and full details are available at the festival’s official site . And the film premieres are just the beginning.
