My actual LFF schedule

Seeing as being a BFI member, and sending a form via snail mail doesn’t actually get you the hottest tickets in this year’s London Film Festival, I am left with an entirely different choice of films.
This may actually be good for me -forget the main stream over-priced premieres – lets discover some real gems.

So here is what I now have tickets for (2 of each):

Archipelago

Joanna Hogg’s follow up to Unrelated serves as a worthy companion piece to her brilliant and acclaimed debut.

Aleksei Fedorchenko’s film is a mystic requiem that combines a funeral journey, a forgotten culture, and an evolving relationship.
And good reviews from Venice.
