Drumroll, curtains, trumpets, lion’s roar, bang on the gong and, best of all, the rustle of popcorn: today marks the opening of the 65th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
This autumn, cracking premieres, brilliant programming and top-notch talent are back in town.
BFI are back with Flare, providing us with the very best in contemporary LGBTIQ+ cinema from top-notch directors around the world. This year is no different, with films exploring the AIDS crisis, trans rights, race, and more. Here, the programmers select their top picks.
As London’s biggest LGBTIQ+ film festival cancels due to the ongoing corona outbreak, its Senior Programmer has hand-picked the best queer films from its previous editions, available on BFI Player, and tells you why they’re so good.
