Each year, Elvis impersonators from around the world flock to the sleepy Welsh seaside town of Porthcawl for Europe’s largest Elvis tribute festival. Who knew, right?
South Wales-based director David Barnes bagged the Best Welsh Film award at the Welsh International Documentary Festival for his study of this peculiar event, which begins as a jolly, light-hearted portrait but soon takes a left-turn into bitter fall-outs between former organisers, grapevine rumours and backstage chaos. Barnes and other crew members will be present for a Q&A after this Bristol premiere of what looks like a hugely entertaining film.
