The Cornwall Film Festival, Task 1 Research

The Cornwall Film Festival is a relatively young event that started in 2001, which focuses mainly on regional work, but does provide some material from outside of Cornwall. The show hosts local and national premieres, and masterclasses, workshops and discussions for everyone from the enthusiast to the professional. This year's festival will be at The Phoenix Cinema in Falmouth (UK Independent Cinema of the Year) and will take place 5-7 November. The Festival has announced two relatively prestigious films being shown at this year's event. The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest, the third in the trilogy that was preceded by both The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire respectively. The second film being Another Year, which competed for this year’s Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Another interesting note is how The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest is being shown at the festival a whole 3 weeks before its UK release.
