Festival Overview
Bradford Film Festival 2003 will include retrospectives of iconoclastic British director Alex Cox, Hollywood's favourite leading lady Jean Simmons, and a cinematic tribute to Dylan Thomas by film-maker Andrew Sinclair and Sally Burton. The festival will also host the first public appearance in the UK since the mid-1960s of the founding father of the notorious 'mondo' genre, Gualtiero Jacopetti.

This year's masterclasses and screentalk interviews include personal appearances from Bullitt director Peter Yates, Blade Runner producer Michael Deeley, British director Michael Radford and veteran cinematographer Gerry Fisher.

Film programmes include the latest Dutch cinema, as part of the Eurovisions strand, and the best new US arthouse and independent films in Focus America. We'll be celebrating 50 years of CinemaScope in the traditional Widescreen Weekend, which regularly attracts large format film fans from across Europe, the USA and Australia.
