Official programme & viewing information
Use BFI's official programme for London and UK partner-venue screenings, ticketing and online availability. MatchApp links highlighted titles into Ask Ai for richer title information and verified viewing routes.
Before visiting or looking for coverage
Build a London Film Festival shortlist around the experience you want: a feature, a shorts programme, a series presentation or an immersive work. These formats have different time and access requirements. Read the programme description rather than assuming every listing is a conventional cinema screening.
Check the location on the individual session page. A title in the festival programme is not automatically showing at every partner venue, and an in-person listing does not confirm an online option. Verify subtitles, access information and the time displayed by the organiser before arranging your visit.
If a session is unavailable, use the programme for discovery rather than searching for an unofficial copy. Record the title and filmmaker, check any alternative official sessions and look for a later authorised release. An official trailer or recorded conversation can provide context without being the full work.
