Festival Highlights

This year’s line-up features a rich and diverse programme of speakers and events, including:

Armando Iannucci

Acclaimed satirist, screenwriter and broadcaster (The Thick of It, The Death of Stalin, Veep), Iannucci will speak about his lifelong admiration for Graham Greene.

Kevin Ruane

Previewing his work editing the complete correspondence between Greene and Walston — a landmark research project offering new insight into Greene’s private and creative life.

Brigitte Timmerman

Presenting Female Aspects of The Third Man, a fresh reading of the film that highlights overlooked perspectives and character dynamics.

We recommend booking early for popular sessions – especially Armando Iannucci’s talk, which is expected to sell out.
