The 68th edition of the BFI London Film Festival is set to be a vibrant showcase of diverse films, ranging from future Oscar hopefuls to powerful protest films and absurdist comedies. With over 110 films to choose from, attendees can expect an impressive line-up featuring premieres, world premieres, and special presentations.
Some of the must-see films include Georgian director Dea Kulumbegashvili’s impactful drama “April,” Zambian-Welsh filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s surreal tale “On Becoming A Guinea Fowl,” and Sean Baker’s kinetic New York City comedy “Anora.” Additionally, French director Jacques Audiard’s Mexico-set gangster musical “Emilia Pérez” and Pedro Almodóvar’s touching English-language film “The Room Next Door” are expected to make waves at the festival.
Other highlights include Andrea Arnold’s magical realism-infused film “Bird,” Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof’s powerful protest film “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” and Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ “Queer.” Indian director Payal Kapadia’s Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama “All We Imagine As Light” and Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles’ return with “I’m Still Here” also promise to captivate audiences.
