IN CINEMAS NOVEMBER 6 – DECEMBER 8

SYNOPSIS:

This November, the 2024 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival returns to cinemas in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Byron Bay with a stunning selection of films from the British Isles. The line-up includes films direct from international film festivals and is brimming with tender dramas, action packed thrillers, comedy, documentaries and retrospectives, featuring many of Britain’s most admired acting and directing stars.

Opening this year’s festival is the Premiere of BLITZ, Steve McQueen’s visually stunning period drama depicting pivotal moments of World War II in London. The powerful and sweeping portrayal of British life during these events, which arrives direct from its London Film Festival Premiere, features stellar central performances from Saoirse Ronan and Paul Weller, in addition to exceptiona newcomer Elliot Heffernen who plays 9 year old George.

Closing this year’s Festival is the exclusive Australian Premiere of the highly anticipated WE LIVE IN TIME. Featuring beautifully nuanced performances from Oscar nominees Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, this heart rendering romance delves into the profound question of how to make the most of the time we have in this world.

Screening in special Festival previews one week prior to official opening, and during the festival, is WIDOW CLICQUOT. This British/French co-production based on a true story offers an effervescent portrait of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, the “Grande Dame of Champagne,” otherwise known as Veuve Clicquot.

Aylin Tezel’s directorial debut FALLING INTO PLACE is screening in its Australian Premiere at the Festival. The tender drama follows Kira (played by Tezel) and Ian, each fleeing their own personal struggles, who cross paths during a winter weekend on the Isle of Skye. Their connection is profound but when they return to London, they must both confront their past.

The Festival is excited to present the romance FOUR LETTERS OF LOVE, featuring a commanding ensemble cast including Pierce Brosnan and Helena Bonham Carter. Polly Steele’s beautiful story follows Nicholas and Isabel who are destined for each other, As ghosts, fate and the sheer power of true love pull them together, so too does life threaten to tear them apart.

IN CINEMAS SEPTEMBER 26

SYNOPSIS:

Be among the first to see MEGALOPOLIS, the out-of-control ‘fable’ from the filmmaking titan Francis Ford Coppola, with a rare inclusion of the much-talked-about live performance element!

A 40-year passion project brought to life with over $120 million of Francis Ford Coppola’s own money, giving him complete creative control, and a cinematic spectacle that demands to be seen on the big screen, this ambitious sci-fi epic, deeply inspired by the Roman Empire, not to mention The Fountainhead, Shakespeare, and Dickens, tells the story of New Rome, a futuristic city plagued by corruption. Adam Driver stars as an architect striving to build a utopian society, alongside a stacked cast including Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Dustin Hoffman.

“After a thirteen-year absence, a great American director returns with an ambitious vision of a world in need of renewal.” – New Yorker

“He’s done it again, and perhaps exceeded himself. Megalopolis might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single minute of it.” – Vulture

“Francis Ford Coppola’s wild and delirious fever dream inspires new hope for the future of movies.” – Indiewire
