The second Ealing Festival of Film Comedy at UGC Cinemas Ealing, 29 January - 12 February 2004

The best in film comedy from around the world comes to West London. From the classics of the 1940s and 1950s to the latest talent emerging from the Studios, you could say that film comedy is Ealing’s heritage.

Opening with a sneak preview of the American smash hit comedy 'The School of Rock' just for starters. Highlights will also include a special Ealing Audience Award which will give film goers the chance to vote for their favourite film from a special programme of exclusive European films not yet seen in the capital.

But that's not all, there will also be a special screening of silent comedies from the early part of the last century, with live piano accompaniment at Ealing Town Hall. Just to confirm Ealing's heritage of film comedy, one of these short films was shot in Ealing and shows the original tram in action on the Uxbridge Road.

Meera Syal will be attending the Festival. The comedy writer and actor, who plays the flirtacious granny in 'The Kumars at No. 42' will be answering audience questions following a screening of Anita and Me ( Cert 12a) on Monday 2 Feb 2pm. The event takes place at UGC Cinemas in association with UGC Cinemas and Tongues on Fire - the Asian Womens Film Festival. Tickets can be purchased from UGC Cinemas Ealing box office in person or by phone (tel 0870 907 0719) from 3pm Wednesday 28 Jan

The Comedy in the UK strand features Brit Shorts - a programme of award winning short films from the likes of the infamous Chris Morris. The closing night film 'One For The Road' is a bitter sweet tale about a motley bunch characters that meet on a rehabilitation course for drink drivers.

Cary Grant's centenary year will not go by unnoticed by any film fan and the screening of two of his most popular comedies - 'His Girl Friday' and 'Bringing up Baby' celebrates the career of this much loved actor.

Schools also - dont miss out as there are a number of study linked screenings that are free to schools in the borough.
