THE TIMES BFI 52nd LONDON FILM FESTIVAL
DATE: 15th - 30th October, 2008
LOCATION: Various Locations across London
The Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival showcases the best new films from around the world, here in London.
The Times BFI Film Festival differs from a lot of other European films festivals in being primarily about bringing film to the public. They offer opportunities for people to see films that would not otherwise get a UK screening - some may never be screened again in this country - but also screen films which will get a release in the autumn or spring.
Most of the screenings are attended by the people involved in making the films, from actors and directors, to producers and stuntmen. This gives the Festival screenings a unique and intimate feeling, as the audience ask questions of their favourite star, or discover a new talent.
