The 61st BFI London Film Festival is in full swing showcasing a whopping 243 films scheduled to appear during its two-week duration (4-15 October 2017).
With a wide range of films, both international and domestic, showing at 15 cinemas across the capital, even the most discerning film buff will find something to catch their eye.
However, we like to make things even easier for you and have come up with two recommendations. Don’t worry if you miss the viewings though, no doubt you can catch them on Netflix in the very near future.
