BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL 2024 in partnership with American Express
The 12 days of the BFI London Film Festival (LFF) are jam-packed with the world’s best new films, series and immersive storytelling – and you don’t have to work in film to be a part of it.
This is your chance to delight in the undiscovered, as all feature films and series are being shown in the UK for the first (and sometimes the only) time.
Tickets start from £10 for all screenings and events in London, with concessions available for many screenings.
Some screenings and events sell out very quickly, so make sure you plan ahead and book early. Become a BFI Member to unlock priority booking from Tuesday 10 September.
