As a seasoned cinephile who has attended film festivals from Cannes to Sundance, I must say that the 68th BFI London Film Festival was nothing short of extraordinary. The energy and excitement that permeated the city during those 12 days were reminiscent of the vibrant atmosphere at the Venice Film Festival.
On Monday, it was disclosed that the 68th BFI London Film Festival saw the greatest number of in-person attendees over the past decade.
Over a span of twelve exhilarating days, I found myself immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of London’s Film Festival. This year, we witnessed a staggering 18% surge in attendance compared to the previous edition, welcoming a total of 230,342 cinephiles. Remarkably, nearly half of these attendees were first-timers at this esteemed event.
Kristy Matheson, the festival director, expressed gratitude towards the artists and fellow professionals from the U.K. and worldwide who sparked our collective interest this year. She was thrilled to observe the interaction between the audience members and the program, demonstrating once more the pleasure and familiarity we all experience when immersed in screen culture.
This year’s audience awards have been revealed, with the winners selected by the public. The dramedy “Four Mothers” by Darren Thornton won for best feature, while Sophie Compton and Daisy-May Hudson’s documentary “Holloway” received the award. In addition, Jamie Benyon’s crime drama “Two Minutes” was honored in the short film category.
On the first night of the festival, Steve McQueen’s film “Blitz,” featuring Saoirse Ronan, had its global debut. The event concluded with the screening of Pharrell William’s Lego biopic titled “Piece by Piece.” Other notable films shown at this year’s London Film Festival included “Emilia Pérez” (as depicted above), “Anora,” “We Live in Time,” “The Wild Robot,” and “Endurance.
