The 2020 London Film Festival is going almost entirely virtual amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, including 50 virtual screenings. More details:
The"special edition" of the event — set to take place in October — will include 50 virtual screenings, with the entire industry program moving online.
Although the festival is due to take place Oct. 7-Oct. 18, when many lockdown restrictions are expected to have been lifted across the U.K. , the event — being billed as a "special edition" — is following the path taken by many since the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, moving largely to a digital platform.
“No year this momentous could beget an ordinary BFI London Film Festival," said festival director Tricia Tuttle. "Like many other live events around the world, we’ve had to make changes to our plans in response to a global pandemic, factoring in safety concerns and restrictions – some known, some still unclear.
Acknowledging that many cinemas will be open while it's on, the festival is putting on a small physical element, partnering with exhibitors and venues across the U.K. to screen exclusive previews of 12 films from the festival. These will also preview at the LFF's flagship BFI Southbank venue.
