Lenny Abrahamson, Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan to attend opening night of UK festival.

Sundance hit Frank has been announced as the opening film of this year’s From Page To Screen festival. This is private screening for festival members only and is not open to the public

Director Lenny Abrahamson, along with co-writers Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan, will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening.

Ronson is the guest curator of this year’s festival and can also be seen in a one-man show Frank: My Story on the opening day (April 2).

Taking place in Bridport, West Dorset, the festival is dedicated to the adaptation of books into films and will run April 2-6.

Last month, it was confirmed that author Nick Hornby will also be at this year’s edition, ahead of a screening of A Long Way Down.

The full lineup for this year’s festival will be announced later this month.
