About
At a time when national news and events suggest that film has never been more needed, whether to help us make sense of our lives or, at least to offer temporary release, the BFI London Film Festival celebrates its 54th year. Run every year in second half of the month of October under the umbrella of the British Film Institute, the Festival showcases the very best of world cinema to champion creativity, originality vision and imagination. Presenting the finest contemporary cinema from around the globe from both established and up-and-coming film-makers. It hosts high profile awards contenders, screens recently restored archive films, new discoveries and combines curatorial strength with red carpet glamour. It also provides an extensive programme of industry events, public forums, education events, lectures, masterclasses and Q&As with film-makers and film talent. The festival traditional commences and concludes with the lavish Opening and Closing galas. These events, which have now become major red carpet ‘events’ in the London calendar and are world premiere screenings, take place in large venues in central London, and are regularly attended by the cast and crew of the films, introduced by the Festival director, the film’s director or producer, and often the actors themselves.

The London Film Festival will run between the 12th and 27th of October at venues across England's capital.
