FILMBATH FESTIVAL 1-11 Nov 2018 FilmBathUK / filmbath.org.uk 3 HELLO & WELCOME At FilmBath we like to look on the bright side of life, so have chosen ‘Love Wins’ as the rallying cry for this year’s selection of films. Why? Well there’s little doubt that current news can be depressing, whether it’s abuse in the film industry, a beleaguered NHS or the turmoil of Brexit. Taking Jo Cox’s lead that ‘we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us’, we are very proud to have a programme which is 55% directed by women, with superb films from every corner of the world and a wonderful LGBT strand. Don’t despair - love will win. Come on in.
