THE DIRECTOR of the long-awaited Ammonite, based in Lyme Regis, will be interviewed as part of a Bridport film festival.

From Page to Screen has been taking place over the past few days, with the final screenings going ahead this evening.

An interview with BAFTA nominated director, Francis Lee, has been added to the schedule as a last-minute addition. 

Mr Lee will be speaking about the recently released Ammonite, starring Kate Winslet as Mary Anning.

It will be shown alongside a Q&A with actress Gemma Jones - who plays Mary Anning's mother in the film - directly after the screening of Ammonite tonight.
