This is my diary of all the films I went to see at the BFI London Film Festival 2024. I went to see a whopping 41 films last year. It is such a privilege each year to get to go as press to the festival so thank you so much BFI for giving me my pass so I get to watch and write about the incredible films you screen each year at the festival. It is a truly wonderful part of my year where I have met so many incredible people and made some lifelong friends.
I do go into spoilers here so if you are not a fan of hearing them skip over that film or watch it then come back. As always I would love to hear your opinions on the films I saw so lets have a discussion in the comments.
