The 12th Chichester Film Festival
21st August - 7th September 2003
The South Coast Cinematic Event of the Year
Festival Booking opens Monday 4th August at 11am...
The Film Festival is the highlight of the Chichester Cinema’s calendar and we are hoping to build on last years success, when over 5,000 people came to see films during the 18 days of the Festival.
This year, we are very proud to open and close the 12th Chichester Film Festival with two important UK productions - Jim Sheridan’s moving In America (21st August) and the hilarious Calendar Girls. (7th September). Sandwiched between these two prestigious films will be over 70 films, including 12 UK premieres and 25 previews of world cinema including: From Australia (the much anticipated Ned Kelly), UK (The Four Features), East-Asia (The Grudge) and the US (Gods and Generals).
There will be retrospectives of the work of leading film-makers (Luchino Visconti and Bertrand Tavernier), as well as themed programming such as the Anthony Minghella Triple Bill and a look at the four films based on Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley books. A series of discussions and Q&A sessions with visiting producers, directors and actors will support the programming. There will also be a repeat of the highly successful International Short Film Competition.

Over £1million awarded to talented North West film makers
The North West’s most promising film makers, scriptwriters and media development organisations are celebrating after being awarded over £1million funding through North West Vision.
Since April 2002 North West Vision the TV, Film and Moving image Development Agency for englandsnorthwest has received 291 lottery applications with 93 being successful. The funding from lottery funding and treasury money has been a tremendous benefit to the region not just for film makers but for businesses and cultural organisation’s with filming production generating millions for the local economy.
Of the total £1million, £530,000 has been allocated to key partner organisations, including the Cornerhouse in Manchester; WFA based in Trafford and First Take in Liverpool. Filmmakers and creative media cultural organisations have benefited from the remaining £470,000.
In the recent round of lottery funding over £140,000 was awarded to 27 out of a total of 106 applicants. The money will be spent making innovative films, organising exciting media events, and diverse film festivals. To date the funding has been a fantastic way of helping to develop and promote the creative talent in the region and put the North West on the International Media map.
Alice Morrison, Chief Executive for North West Vision said:
“The wealth of talent that we have in the North West is overwhelming and North West Vision is extremely proud to be able to offer exciting opportunities and support for new and emerging film makers in the region. North West Vision is passionate about the region as a media destination and a vibrant, innovative cultural centre. The growth of the film making industry will have a positive knock on effect on the sustainable growth of the media industry and tourism and business development in the North West as a whole”.
