Every year the Chichester International Film Festival audiences vote for their favourite films in four categories: 'Premieres, Previews & New Release'; 'Documentaries'; 'Retrospectives/Classics'; and 'Independents'. This year we have added the Cate Blanchett and Hugh Bonneville Retrospectives so that we could pass this info on to the actors. Below you will find the top ranked in each section.
The scores are calculated after each audience member gives the viewed films a score from 1 to 5. These votes are then revised according to how many people saw the film, with films attracting less than 10 votes not considered.
