Also on Saturday we've got director Mark Kidel with an intimate Q&A on his forthcoming documentary about Cary Grant (to which Mark Glancy has contributed) - hot from the cutting room, Mark Kidel will talk through some work in progress clips from his challenging new perspective of Cary Grant's journey from Bristol boy Archie Leach to global icon.

The Cary Grant festival aims to celebrate Cary Grant's Bristol roots, develop new audiences for his films and recreate the golden age of cinema-going. The festival is organised by Dr Charlotte Crofts (Associate Professor Filmmaking, UWE) as a labour of love - with no major sponsorship this year - so if you can't make it but would like to support the festival then you might like to donate or buy some of our official merchandise: www.carycomeshome.co.uk/shop
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Charlotte
