Line-up

The Festival starts with an opening weekend of free outdoor celebrations for all the family. Mutoid Waste (who created the futuristic Mad Max-style vehicles for the London Paralympic Closing Ceremony last year) will create a huge stir with their giant articulated creations parading the beach. In addition, lots of events - including light installations, film screenings, live music and dance, street performance and a vintage market will take place in the town centre, lower gardens and seafront.

Over the following three weeks there will be a host of special events and performances; including The Regular Joes; 'punk poet' John Cooper Clarke; Jessica Duchen; Nude / The Irrepressibles; Silent Disco presented by Silent Arena; Hitchcock's 'Pleasure Garden' with live score commissioned from Daniel Patrick Cohen, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Kokoro players perform Jonathan Lloyd’' score to Hitchcock’s Blackmail; a 'sound' performance in complete darkness from the creators of the Electric Hotel; Mark Bruce Company's dance interpretation of Dracula; a candlelit concert of work by Paganini set in the historic ruins of Shelley Theatre; The Dodge Brothers play their first gig in Bournemouth as well as accompanying the classic silent movie 'Beggars of Life'; and British Sea Power accompany the 1934 docu-drama 'Man of Aran'.

This year there's a distinct cinema and 'live score' element to the Festival with special showings of Alfred Hitchcock's early films restored by the British Film Institute, accompanied by live music from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Also at the festival will be the only vintage mobile cinema left in the country, with its unique slice of cinema history. There's a 'behind-the-scenes' look at some of the world's most spectacular film and animation visual effects.

There's also a 'live' cinema using paper, puppets and music from home grown talent Paper Cinema.
