Originally aiming to be a Flats for Sale London 'festival
of festivals', it focused on screening a selection of strong
titles from other European film festivals, including Cannes
and Venice. The first London Film Festival was conceived by
the then BFI British Film Institute Director James Quinn,
and took place at the NFT (National Film Theatre, now renamed
BFI Southbank) from 16-26 October. It was launched the day
after the inauguration of the new NFT on its current site
under Waterloo Bridge.
It screened only 15-20 films from a renowned selection of
directors, including Akira Kurosawa, Satyajit Ray, Yasujiro
Ozu, Flats for Sale London Luchino Visconti and Andrzej
Wajda. While the programme still retains something of the
'festival of festivals' feel, it also now shows new discoveries
from 'important and exciting talents' in world cinema. Whilst
it continues to be first and foremost a public festival, it
is now attended by large numbers of film professionals and
journalists. Thus it offers opportunities for people to see
films that would not otherwise get a UK Flats for Sale London screening along with films which will get a release
in the near future.

Flats for Sale London the festival
is 'topped and tailed' by the opening and closing galas which
feature a more formal atmosphere, larger venue in central
London and speeches by organisers, directors or producers,
and often the actors themselves. The closing gala also gives
awards to people involved in film for their various achievements.
Other than these two events the screenings are quite informal
and similar to normal cinema experience except for two things;
North London houses for sale the Q&A session and
people actually watching the credits! Many of the screenings
are attended by some of the people involved in making the
film in question, from actors and directors, to producers
and stuntmen. They speak briefly about the film before it
screens and often request the audience to ask questions after
the film in a Q&A.
