When Barry met Tony (again)
Tony is to interview legendary British film critic Barry Norman as part of the inaugural Holmfirth Film Festival (May 22-29 2010).
The Q&A is slated for 7.30pm on Thursday, May 27, at the Picturedrome Cinema, Holmfirth’s very own independent picture house. The event will mark Tony’s second on-stage encounter with Barry, who previously was his guest at the 14th Bradford International Film Festival in 2008. The interview will be punctuated with clips from Barry’s favourite films as well as focusing on the multitude of stars he met during a 40-year career.
The following afternoon Tony will present Lion of the Welsh, his acclaimed illustrated lecture on the life and career of Richard Burton, at the Old Bridge Hotel. The 60-minute lecture, illustrated with clips from several of Burton’s film and television appearances, starts at 4.30pm. The invitation to Holmfirth follows in the wake of several others all across the UK including London’s National Film Theatre, the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield and Chapter in Cardiff.
Tickets for An Evening with Barry Norman are £12 and are available from the festival box office on 01484 681388 or via holmfirthfilmfestival.co.uk
The Lion of the Welsh lecture is a free event.
