Proudly presented by Palace Cinemas and MINI, the British Film Festival returns this October for its sixth and biggest year yet. The Festival features some of the most eagerly anticipated British films of the year including powerful true stories, literary adaptations and biographies and modern classics starring some of Britain’s best known and beloved stars.
Kristin Scott Thomas leads this inspiring drama about the bravery of the women of war and the power of the music that saved them. From the director of The Full Monty.
Based on the widely acclaimed novel by Nicholas Searle, Oscar-winning screenwriter Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters, 1998) directs this wicked thriller featuring magnificent lead performances from Dame Helen Mirren and Sir Ian McKellen.
The 2019 MINI British Film Festival has the honour of welcoming legendary actor Timothy Spall as the Festival Guest. Spall will be in attendance for select Q&A sessions with his film Mrs Lowry & Son in both Sydney and Melbourne.
