The London Film Festival will return to the UK capital this year in early October. The long-running British Film Institute (BFI)-produced festival screens a combination of domestic and international films. Due to the impact of COVID-19, this year’s 64th edition will be structured differently, adopting a “hybrid” model. While a smattering of the programmed films will be screened as usual at BFI Southbank, the bulk of the programming is accessible online to anyone in the UK via the BFI Player. The festival will also screen select films in venues across the country. The festival has introduced audience awards as a one-off for this year, replacing the usual jury awards. Likewise, an online ceremony is replacing the red-carpet event. There will be talks, online VR experiences through LFF Expanded, and more.
