News: The Branchage Int’l Film Fest

The third Branchage International film festival takes place September 23 – 26 on the island of Jersey in the UK with film screenings, live music events and parties in an array of weird and wonderful locations.
 
Making use of the island’s many unusual indoor and outdoor settings such as the 13th Century Mont Orgueil Castle, Jersey War Tunnels, several churches, the grandiose Jersey Opera House and the festival’s hub, the Barclays Wealth Spiegeltent – a century old structure crafted from wood, canvas and mirrors, Branchage is unlike any film festival.
 
Kicking off the festival this year is Stephen Frears’ new comedy Tamara Drewe, starring Gemma Arterton and Dominic Cooper opening the festival on September 23rd in the grandiose Jersey Opera House. The Closing night gala screening on September 26th, also at the Opera House, is Out of the Ashes, a documentary following the rise of the Afghan cricket team, partly shot in Jersey.
