The winners of these four competitive awards will be chosen by LFF Awards Juries, the members of which the BFI said will be announced in the coming weeks. This year, LFF runs October 4—14 and marks festival head Kristy Matheson’s first edition in charge after she took the helm last year following the exit of Tricia Tuttle. Saltburn, the latest film from Promising Young Woman filmmaker Emerald Fennell, will open the fest, while the dystopian thriller The Kitchen, directed by Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya for Netflix, will close proceedings.
“The films represented in each of these competitive strands offer audiences an exciting array of UK and global filmmaking voices and cinematic forms,” Matheson said of her first LFF Competition lineup. “We’re so proud to be showcasing each of these films and thank all the filmmaking teams in competition for sharing their films with us.”
