Programme revealed with more films by
Women to be included in the gala and special presentations
More female film-makers will feature in the galas and special presentations of this year’s BFI
London film festival, which organisers say is a sign the industry is heading in the right direction.
This year’s programme, announced on Tuesday, will feature 21 film world premieres including the opening movie, Jeymes Samuel’s western The Harder They Fall, starring Idris Elba; and an animated sci-fi
comedy Ron’s Gone Wrong, the first film from the
UK studio Locksmith Animation.
