Each year the BFI London Film Festival presents a selection of the best in world cinema, showing audiences a wide array of films, representing a variety of languages, genres and filmmaking styles. Last year’s edition opened with the European premiere of Emerald Fennel’s Saltburn and closed with the world premiere of The Kitchen from Daniel Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares.
The LFF showcases exceptional British filmmaking alongside international work, and the programme spans features, shorts, fiction, documentary, artists’ moving image, restorations, animation and films for families, alongside titles destined for awards-season glory.
The BFI are still accepting open submissions for UK and Irish shorts and features for LFF 2024. Final deadline dates for receipt of online submission forms and film screeners:
More information on film submissions is available via the BFI website or by emailing lffsubmissions@bfi.org.uk.
Further details, including the exact format of the festival, will be announced in the coming months.
