Frost/Nixon to Open Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival

Posted by admin on June 25, 2008 under Times BFI London Film Festival | Be the First to Comment

The countdown to the Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival begins.

The world premiere of Frost/Nixon from Oscar-winning director/producer Ron Howard, will open this year’s Times BFI London Film Festival.

Festival Artistic Director Sandra Hebron earlier announced that The Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival will take place from Wednesday 15 October through Thursday 30 October 2008.

This highly regarded and anticipated event in Europe’s cultural calendar attracts leading international filmmakers, industry professionals and the media together with large public audiences to London for a two week showcase of the best in contemporary world cinema.

Alongside a public screening programme which presents 180 feature films and 130 short films each year, the Festival hosts panel discussions, masterclasses, screen talks and live events, as well as a comprehensive education programme and a slate of industry events and screenings.

Artistic Director Sandra Hebron said, “We are very much looking forward to presenting the 52nd edition of the Festival, and have already begun selecting films which will help us in our aim of bringing to London some of the year’s finest international cinema. Whilst the Festival will always be committed to presenting exciting new films which otherwise would not be seen in the UK, our October dates also make us ideally positioned to premiere high profile quality titles due for winter and spring release, as well as to showcase some of the most hotly anticipated awards contenders. In a busy autumn calendar, we are looking forward to building on our success to make The 2008 Times BFI London Film Festival an unmissable event.”

The Times BFI London Film Festival programme for 2008 will be announced on Wednesday 10 September.
