Cornwall Film Festival 2008

An exploration of our ties with the ocean, through a surf-centric lens

Cape Cornwall is an Arts Specialist School. On 30th June art took over for the whole day.

The film will be introduced by writer and director Ray Tostevin. Ray, who is the founding director of Yeovil-based GRACE Productions, will also be available for Q & A following the film. We are thrilled to host the South West premiere screening of Charlotte: A Royal at War (also known as Léif Lëtzebuerger), the remarkable account of one woman and her government’s pursuit of freedom for their country - against the brutal occupation by Hitler’s Third Reich. This film is the previously untold story of a wife and mother of six children, Charlotte of Luxembourg, the Royal “propagandist in pearls” who inspired a nation through the power of radio, to reach her people in their darkest hour. The film reveals a powerful truth: ordinary people will endure hardship, imprisonment, even death, if they have someone to believe in, to keep their hopes alive. The feature length documentary combines vivid eyewitness testimony with dramatic reconstruction and unique, previously unseen, colour archive. This film has been given a guidance rating of PG
