London Film Festival

London Film Festival

10 September, 2009
by: Spoonfed Festivals

Reaching the ripe old age of 53, the annual The Times BFI London Film Festival makes a stylish return to the capital, featuring 15 world premieres alongside the latest features, shorts, and documentaries from around the world.

Starting on the 14th October, the LFF opens with the screening of the much anticipated adaptation of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox, and other highlights include new work from Jean-Pierre Jeunet (MICMACS) and Scott Hicks (The Boys are Back).

Taking place in a variety of cinemas across London, there's plenty of opportunity for you to check the festival out at yoru local or in town, and there are even some outdoor events. Plus, book tickets for a screen talk by a prestigious director or actor.

However, with 191 features and 113 shorts of which 146 are UK premieres there is one problem - which events to see? Luckily we're on hand and we'll provide a handy guide to the very best of the LLF.
