## Resource

Rowan Atkinson, the genius behind Mr. Bean, is set to grace the Purbeck Film Festival this year — a beloved Dorset event celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special Jacques Tati tribute. Known for its quirky charm, the festival screens films in castles, village halls, and secret gardens across the county, offering exclusive premieres, Cannes winners, and local gems. Since its humble 1996 start, it’s grown into a cultural cornerstone, championing cinematic discovery in unexpected places. This year, BAFTA director Philippa Lowthorpe’s “H Is for Hawk” will debut in a Swanage church, underscoring how grassroots passion and community spirit fuel its enduring magic — a perfect stage for Atkinson’s Tati homage and a reminder that film’s soul thrives beyond the multiplex.
