The audience have voted! This years Bath Archaeo Heritage closing festival film is Peter Weir’s epic nautical adventure ‘Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World’.

Russel Crowe stars as the respected and brash Captain Jack Aubrey in the Napoleonic wars. Accompanied by the crew of his ship the Surprise, Captain Aubrey pursues rival the Acheron to the South American coast.

An incredible voyage, ‘Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World’ is the ultimate seafarer’s film and the perfect note to end the festival on.

This screening fits with the earlier talk on Sunday, ‘Sound of the Sea: A Musical History of Hollywood’s Nautical Epics’.
