BRISTOL FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS AN AUDIENCE WITH CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON

By ROBIN ASKEW, Friday Jan 21, 2022

Renowned for his collaborations with Danny Boyle and Michael Winterbottom, and fondly remembered as the ninth incarnation of Doctor Who, stage and screen star Christopher Eccleston's distinguished career stretches back more than 30 years to his memorable debut performance as Derek Bentley in Let Him Have It.

He's coming to Bristol to launch Bristol Film Festival's March season with a special Audience with Christopher Eccleston event at the Redgrave Theatre. Eccleston will be in conversation with film critic Anna Smith, and the event also includes a screening of a film he's selected as being of particular importance to him: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. This will be followed by an audience Q&A session. The event takes place on March 1. Tickets are available here.

The Festival has also emerged from covid-enforced hibernation to unveil an extensive spring screening programme at venues across the city, including The Planetarium, Clifton Observatory, Arnos Vale Cemetery, Redcliffe Caves, Bristol Museum, Averys' wine cellar and the Avon Gorge Hotel.
