The BFI London Film Festival is rolling out the red carpet for its 69th edition, and with the unveiling of its official trailer, we’ve officially entered “countdown” mode.

Each year, the globally renowned event serves as a seismic celebration of film in all its forms. From titles led by  Hollywood royalty to must-see showings from breakout stars to stirring international offerings.

And this year’s programme, which runs from October 8 to October 19, is no exception.

The must-see lineup of films fuses buzzy world premieres, awards-season hopefuls, and cinematic gems that are poised to have the masses talking long after the credits roll.

Here at That Grape Juice, we’ve already got our eye on a few standouts from the newly unveiled slate.
