LIGHTS, camera, action! Bridport's premier film festival is set to return this year – but it will be online.

The Bridport Page to Screen Festival will be going ahead virtually next month.

The event will take place from Thursday, April 22 to Saturday, April 24 and will see two film screenings a day along with a number of talks from industry professionals.

Page to Screen was founded in 2009 by the Bridport Arts Centre, and was routinely hosted there before the pandemic. Inspired by the Bridport Prize, the festival celebrates the relationship between books and films and aims to inspire and encourage the film adaptation of literature.

This will be the 11th instalment of the festival, with 2020s event having to be cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

More information will be available in the coming weeks on the films and speakers which will be featured at the event. Keep an eye out in the Bridport News.
