Next month the British Film Institute will hold its 55th annual London Film Festival, showcasing the very best in world cinema.
From the 12-27th October the BFI London Film Festival will show 204 feature films and 110 shorts. Opening and closing the prestigious festival this year are Fernando Merielles’ 360 and Terence Davies’ The Deep Blue Sea.
Also on the bill are George Clooney’s The Ides of March, Alexander Payne’s The Descendents, and Lynne Ramsey’s We Need to Talk about Kevin. This year’s Archive Gala title is Miles Mander’s The First Born, as restored by the BFI National Archive.
As well as prestigious titles the festival is a great stage for anticipated new films like Roman Polanski’s Carnage and Andrea Arnold’s Wuthering Heights.
During the event, BFI London Film Festival Awards will return for the third time to mark achievements from established film makers and emerging talent. The shortlist will be announced on the 4th October and the awards themselves will take place on the 26th October.
‘Power to the Pixel’, the cross media forum, brings another dimension to the festival and is hosting several events open to the public. With an impressive line up of speakers and projects being showcased it is a must for anyone interested in learning about financial and creative opportunities in this field.
The London Film Festival is the UK’s biggest public film event and a great opportunity to see the best the BFI has to offer in cinema, with both established and up and coming film makers being well represented.
Tickets are available for BFI members now and for public booking from this week.
