AN ACCLAIMED actress will head up the list of speakers at a Bridport film festival. Gemma Jones will appear at the virtual From Page to Screen festival next week, where she will be in conversation on Saturday, April 24 with co-founder Nic Jeune after a screening of the Lyme Regis-based Ammonite, in which she plays Mary Anning's mother.
