Fodor's Expert Review BFI London Film Festival

More than 200 feature films, many of them world or European premieres, plus shorts, talks, and workshops, grace the program of the BFI London Film Festival, which takes place over 12 days every October. There's a total of nine venues across town that are involved, but the heart of the action centers on the BFI Southbank, with the big movie theaters in Leicester Square being the focus for the galas and major releases. Booking ahead is advised.
