From "The Full Monty" and "Billy Elliot" to last year's "The Quiet Girl", which went all the way to the Oscars, arts24 is at the intimate French film festival that’s served as the launchpad for independent gems that go on to conquer the world of cinema. From social chronicles to wacky comedies, over five days some 20,000 people gathered to see this year's offerings at the Dinard British & Irish Film Festival. More than 50 films filled cinema screens, with actors like Tim Roth and Anthony Hopkins in their latest roles. Among the breakout talents is award-winning actor Jason Patel, who stars in the cross-cultural LGBT love story "Unicorns", which came away with the jury and audience prizes.  Eve Jackson chats to him about being Bridget Jones, his chemistry with co-star Ben Hardy and his hopes that the film will bring people together despite their differences.
