3. A FILM FOR MOTORING ENTHUSIASTS Click here
The movie 'Hill' - largely about Damon Hill but including bits about Graham Hill. Screening at the Lumiere 28th October to 18th November 2026 during the British and Irish Film Festival - also Alice Cinema and Delux Cinemas at the Tannery. Bookings online and at theatre box offices.
"One name. Two champions. BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Alex Holmes delivers the definitive portrait of how Damon Hill overcame the loss of his legendary father, Graham Hill, and followed in his footsteps to become a Formula 1 world champion himself."
"The inside story of how Damon fought a furious battle with Michael Schumacher, and dealt with the death of his teammate Ayrton Senna, who tragically lost his life at 34."
"With a seamless blend of high-octane Formula 1 footage and intimate home-movie moments, Hill is pacy, polished, and unmissable."
