THREE DAYS IN NOVEMBER

Welcome to the 29th Aldeburgh Documentary Festival. This year’s slate includes a world premiere (Douglas Adams: The Man Who Imagined Our Future), a UK premiere (Separated) and four exclusive previews ahead of their national release. As we assembled the programme, certain themes emerged - biography and survival. Our opening night film reveals the moving story behind award-winning filmmakers Ismail Merchant and James Ivory, while our closing night movie looks at the life and ground-breaking career of sixties icon Twiggy. In between these two documentaries, we see how political decision-making at the highest  level resonates beyond its initial impact, how those affected by world-historical events endure against the odds, and how the media and moving image shape our reality (and vice versa). As ever, we have a great line-up of guests – filmmakers, writers, broadcasters – who make this weekend one of the highlights of the international film festival calendar.

 

Enjoy the festival.
