Read/Listen the text quickly and answer the questions:1. In which cities are the two festivals held?2. What is the main difference between the two festivals?
In England, going to the cinema is one of the most popular leisure activities. Most towns have a cinema, usually one with several screens. These cinemas show all the big films from Hollywood in the USA, and a much smaller number from other countries. However, there are many festivals which show films that may normally not be shown at cinemas. The festivals last for several days and show many films. You are going to find out about two festivals in England.
READING
The film festival season in the UK lasts from June until October. In June, Sheffield hosts the International Documentary Festival, and in October there is the London Film Festival. Both festivals show new films from around the world, with one essential difference. The London Film Festival shows fiction films, the Sheffield Festival shows factual films.The Sheffield festival is now 22 years old, and it has grown from a small weekend festival into a week long festival that not only shows new documentary films, but also runs training workshops for new directors and has interviews with important film makers. Film makers can also present ideas to try to raise money for their film projects. Normally documentaries are only seen on TV, so, this festival, which shows the films in modern cinemas in Sheffield, is a great opportunity to see documentary films on the big screen. There are films from all over the world, from Japan to Australia, from West Africa to Russia. In all, over 150 films are showing this year. The director of the festival, Heather Croall, says she is proud of how many different cultures and lives are represented in the film schedule.The London Film Festival is a rather different affair. It has been running for nearly 60 years, and it lasts for two weeks. The festival takes place in the largest cinemas in London and the attendance figures are high. It attracts many glamorous stars to the premieres of the bigger movies that are being shown in the festival. The festival is an international showcase of cinema, but it is also an opportunity for British directors to show their work. The opening film at the 2016 festival was ‘A United Kingdom’, a British drama about an interracial romance that changed the world, and the closing film is ‘Free Fire’ which is about gangs in Boston in the 1970s.There really is something for everyone who loves the big screen with these two festivals.
