From Downton to darkest Peru, we are thrilled to welcome actor Hugh Bonneville to our home at the Vogue. In what promises to be a highlight of this year’s festival, Hugh joins artistic director Ruthe Stein to discuss his long and varied career, illustrated by clips from films including “Notting Hill,” “Iris,” “The Viceroy’s House” and “Paddington,” the latest installment of which, “Paddington in Peru,” will be sneak previewed on the festival’s closing night in Hugh’s honor. His extensive television credits include the BAFTA-winning “Twenty Twelve” and “WIA” (BBC) and six seasons (and three movies) of the global hit “Downton Abbey” (ITV/PBS). Hugh’s latest appearances include Apple TV’s, “The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” and “The Agency” on Paramount +.
The evening will conclude with a screening of “From Time to Time,” a family drama from “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes, featuring Bonneville and co-staring the late, great Maggie Smith.
