The BFI (British Film Institute) and Cunard have announced the full programme for the inaugural Film Festival at Sea, a unique seven-day Transatlantic Crossing taking place on board the luxurious liner Queen Mary 2 from 8–15 March.
Sailing from Southampton to New York, the voyage offers
guests an exclusive opportunity to explore the world of cinema through a
curated programme of film-themed events, screenings and hands-on workshops,
against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Festival will feature exclusive events with film
industry talent including Mike Valentine, Paul Mayeda Berges and Gurinder
Chadha, actress Miranda Richardson, Joy Moore and John Hay.
Programme highlights include award-winning actress Miranda
Richardson reflecting on her celebrated career, as well as renowned

on underwater cinematography. Filmmakers Gurinder Chadha and Paul Mayeda
Berges, the creative duo behind Bend It Like Beckham, will introduce a special
screening of one of their most loved films.
Guests will also be treated to a performance of Posting
Letters to the Moon by actors Simon Williams and Lucy Fleming, a show based on
the wartime letters between the actress Celia Johnson and her husband, Peter
Fleming.
The programme also features a series of creative and
interactive workshops including scriptwriting, acting and smartphone
filmmaking, as well as BFI-curated screenings, such as Powell and Pressburger’s
