Dates: 23-26 September | Location: Jersey

If you’re a cinephile looking for a late summer holiday break then we recommend you take a look at the Branchage Festival (that’s ‘bron-carge’ by the way). For it’s third edition, alongside the launch of a swanky new logo, the team have put together a stellar line-up of live soundtracks, performances, parties, masterclasses and films in unusual locations.

There are some wonderful highlights: particularly the presentation of Yuri Norstein‘s Russian Fairytales; psychedelic Japanes group, Bo Ningen performing to the surreal anime short Cat Soup by Tatsuo Sato; the Victorian Jersey Magic Lantern Show with live music by electronica artiste Scanner; a screening of Jessica Hausner’s Lourdes in The Parish Church of St Helier; and if you like those Cravendale ads, then you’ll love A Town Called Panic, the hilarious stop-motion feature by Vincent Patar and Stéphane Aubier aka Pic Pic Andre.
