History
The organisation has expanded in duration, venues, and titles. In 1997, it was registered as a non profit-distributing company and, in 2000, as a charitable organisation. The festival has also expanded its programme over the years to include workshops for festival-goers, live music accompaniments to silent cinema, and more recently, open-air cinema, starting in 2003 with a screening of E.T. in partnership with the Holburne Museum of Art. Since its foundation, the festival has screened over 1000 films.Nicolas Roeg's 2007 film Puffball had its UK premiere at the festival. In January 2014, a special screening of Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ at Wells Cathedral provoked some controversy; the church defended its decision to allow the screening.
IMDb is a co-sponsor of the festival and of several festival awards.
