A FILM shot in Bradford will be screened at a prestigious USA film festival.
The Duke, which was shot at a number of locations in the city in January, has been selected for the Telluride Film Festival, Colorado.
City Hall, Little Germany and Upper Piccadilly, Cartwright Hall and Cannon Mills were all taken back in time earlier this year as filming for The Duke, starring Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent, got under way.

It is the latest forthcoming film festival to be screening The Duke, as the movie will get its world premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival, also held in September.
The film follows Kempton Bunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver, who stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London in 1961.
The Telluride Film Festival will take place from September 4 to 7.
