The 66th BFI London Film Festival is taking place this year between 5th-16th October in London as well as in select cinemas around the country. But the festival also extends online, and what’s even better than this is, lots of the online offerings are totally FREE!
As part of LFF For Free, are a number of exciting events including Instant Gra-TV-Cation, a panel discussion featuring industry professionals looking at the rise of streaming and what sets TV apart from film.
Instant Gra-TV-Cation will be a panel discussion that dives into the world of streaming. The panel will look at our viewing habits, do we prefer weekly episodes or to binge seasons in one go and our growing obsession with TV to discuss why our watchlists might be too full.
And given the rise in actors crossing over from the big screen to the small screen, just where do we draw the line between film and TV? This online panel discussion will launch on the BFI YouTube channel on October 14th.
The panel will be made up of Lisa Kerrigan, Senior Curator of Television at the BFI National Archive, Oliver Lyttelton, screenwriter and creator of Cheaters (2022) and Wedding Season (2022), and Hanna Flint, film critic and author of Strong Female Character. The event is hosted by LFF’s Series & Episodic Programmer, Rowan Woods.
Instant Gra-TV-Cation promises to be an excellent event and a great way to enjoy the wonders of London Film Festival from your own home for free. You can find out more about the event here and be sure to watch it on the the BFI YouTube channel from October 14th..
