Highlights From the Upcoming Mostly British Film Festival 2023 - San Francisco Bay Times

These days, when many of us think about the U.K., royals like Harry and Meghan come to mind.I, by the way, am firmly on Team Harry.How can we knock someone trying to make his family safe?But let us move over to the U.K.'s fine films, actors and actresses, TV programs, and series.From shows like Gentleman Jack and Absolutely Fabulous to some of our best films including The Imitation Game, Albert Nobbs, The Danish Girl, Billy Elliot, and , there are countless quality productions coming from a constitutional monarchy that is just 2.48% the size of the U.S.
To showcase such treasures, my friend and colleague Ruthe Stein eight years ago put together the Mostly British Film Festival in San Francisco.
