BFI

The BFI’s new programme pays homage to working-class men on screen, featuring films such as The Football Factory, My Beautiful Launderette and Sexy Beast – all of which tell us more about the class divide than any arthouse flick will.

Coming soon to a screen near you, wherever you are, next month’s LFF offers visual thrills galore.

LFF: The Wes Anderson-approved French-Algerian follows fellow César winners Charlotte Gainsbourg, Vanessa Paradis and Audrey Tautou – and now she’s disarming Timothée Chalamet.

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.
