The events are free but tickets should be pre-booked online. All those presenting their ticket from the Billetto will get free popcorn, snacks and a drink.

Coun Alex Ross-Shaw, Bradford Council’s executive member for regeneration, planning and transport said: “We’re delighted to be teaming up with the UNESCO City of Film for their Bradford Film Festival especially as it’s their 10th Anniversary this year.

"We are always looking at new ways that we can encourage people to use markets and putting on these films is a great idea.

"The showings have already proved to be really popular, with all the tickets now gone for the first film. So I would encourage people to get their tickets early to book their place.”
