FilmBath

Adding to the richness and diversity of Bath's cultural offerings, is FilmBath, the heart and home of the film world in Bath. Each year, the city's residents and visitors experience the thrills, spills and delights of the FilmBath Festival together with a wide range of film-related activities and opportunities for people to engage.

​

Each year the FilmBath Festival (previously Bath Film Festival) screens the best new and upcoming films from around the world with a stimulating and eclectic programme of films, workshops, and film events in venues across Bath and beyond.

AMPLIFY! was an online film festival produced by FilmBath in collaboration with CINECITY (Brighton), Cambridge, and Cornwall Film Festivals.

The F-Rating champions women in the industry by highlighting films directed by, written by, and starring women with a Fairtrade-type stamp.
