In recent years, the British Film Institute (BFI) London Film Festival has become synonymous with the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, with many of the two-week festival’s screenings taking place in and around the central London venue.
This year, however, Variety can reveal that the festival will take place on the opposite side of the Thames river, at BFI Southbank and Royal Festival Hall, primarily. The festival, which will run from Oct. 6-17, is also currently negotiating additional venues, including Odeon cinemas.
