Cary Comes Home Festival 2024 Bristol Megascreen, in Bristol Aquarium, Anchor Rd, Bristol, UK, BS1 5TT Friday 29 November – Sunday 1 December 2024 Join us in Cary Grant’s home city for a three-day celebration of how the Hollywood star’s early training as an acrobat lent physical prowess to many of his films and made a lasting impact on action cinema. Our 6th festival runs from 29 November to 1 December at city centre venues close to the Cary Grant statue in Millennium Square. The line-up will include screenings, talks, walks, Q&As, insights into stunt work, circus elements and, for the first time since the festival began in 2014, a partnership with the magical Bristol Spiegeltent that will result in a gala finale featuring a special screening of TO CATCH A THIEF with a live cabaret show. All in all, there is no better way to explore Grant’s legacy as a cinematic trailblazer and the original inspiration behind the quintessential action hero, James Bond. “Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant” (Cary Grant). Experience Grant's versatility, from the slapstick brilliance of BRINGING UP BABY to the high-stakes suspense of NORTH BY NORTHWEST, screening as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
