COMING BACK? deal of the Festival's gene- ral message of Britain's achievements will reach visitors through the power-| ful agency of the screen.

The sharpest focus of publicity and public interest will undoubtedly bear on the Film Festival to be staged: at a London cinema for a fortnight in June. Twenty- four films will be shown in the two weeks, and famous stars and directors will ap pear in person at the even- ing performances to speak about their work.

This will not be a festival in the usual international and competitive sense, but rather a selective review of film-making in Britain over the last 15 years. The pic- tures will range widely in type from The Private Life of Henry VIII," Sir Alexander Korda's first pro- duction in a London studio, to the realistic subjects like

Ahead" "The Way

and "Brief Encounter" which established the world-fame of such younger British

directors as Carol Reed and David Lean.

The programmes will also "Great include "Henry V," Expectations," "Pygmalion,' "Western Approaches," per- haps the best of the war- time documentaries and, on the lighter side "Champagne Charlie" with its full-blood- ed flavour of the Edwardian music hall.

Among the films specially do aigned for the Festival the most important will be the biography of Friese-Greene, the British
