Film critic and broadcaster Anna Smith brings an unforgettable panel event to Cadogan Hall to celebrate the very best of British film and television for the Chelsea Arts Festival.

Anna leads the conversation alongside some of the finest names from our screens. Her distinguished guests will include the multi-talented Sadie Frost, whose recent work includes compelling documentaries about iconic figures Mary Quant and Twiggy, offering unique perspectives on fashion, culture, and creativity: two films which served as a portal into Swinging Sixties London with Chelsea as its mecca – a beating heart of creativity and cultural rebellion.

We’re also delighted to welcome the iconic Twiggy herself, whose influence on fashion and popular culture continues to inspire generations.

Award-winning composer and musician Dr Nitin Sawhney CBE, recipient of the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award, shares his insights with Anna on the intersection of music and film, bringing his wealth of experience from scoring numerous acclaimed productions, from Goodness Gracious Me to Breathe and the upcoming Christmas Karma.

More names will be added in the coming weeks for this fantastic celebration of British film.

Anna Smith is one of the UK’s best-known film critics and a seasoned broadcaster. Former President of the UK Critics’ Circle, she is the host and co-founder of Girls On Film, the world’s leading podcast about women in film.

This event is taking place as part of the inaugural Chelsea Arts Festival.
