Those fortunate enough to get a wide release need no additional showcasing. Instead for this series we have selected twelve smaller release British films to re-screen or preview which you may not have had a chance to see - and if you did, we're confident that you willl want to take another look. To add to the choiceness of these particular Brits, we've invited a range of industry speakers to come an introduce them and explain just why they are supporting the Brit talent on show this year.
