London welcomes the world of cinema for the 59th time this year on 7-18 October. Tickets go on sale today and you can bag yourself a seat to marvel at global premieres, daring new films, or events from the likes of Todd Haynes, Saoirse Ronan, Geena Davis, Laurie Anderson or a little-known director by the name of Christopher Nolan.
I am looking forward to seeing new interesting films by my home country (including The Lobster, Chevalier), Brooklyn (a new film based on the Colm Toibin best-seller, adapted by Nick Hornby), Carol (a festival hit with Cate Blanchett), the possible resurrection of Johnny Depp’s career that could be Black Mass and new films by Luca Guadagnino, Ben Wheatley, Laurie Anderson and more.
240 films. From 72 countries. 16 cinemas. 12 days. One Festival.
Let me know what you will be watching on @sylviatra and see you on the red carpet!
