David Fincher, Sofia Coppola and Martin Scorsese: BFI London Film Festival 2023 full line-up confirmed

Today the BFI London Film Festival unveiled their full line-up for the 67^th edition. Over 12 days from 4^th to 15^th October, 252 features, shorts, XR works and series will screen in venues across the capital from 92 countries, featuring 79 languages, with 39% of the programme from female and non-binary filmmakers.

Opening the festival will be the much-anticipated international premiere of Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell’s follow-up, Saltburn, while closing is the world premiere of Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya’s (his directorial debut) The Kitchen. Aardman’s Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget will also premiere.

Other highlights include David Fincher’s The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla about Priscilla Presley and Martin Scorsese’s Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro-starring Killers of the Flower Moon.

Also on the lineup are Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Evil Does Not Exist, Jonathan Glazer’s Cannes favourite Zone of Interest, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, which he both directs and stars in, and Yorgos Lanthimos’s Poor Things starring Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, promising to be weird and wonderful.

Jeymes Samuel, whose The Harder They Fall opened last year’s edition, returns with The Book Of Clarence, and Todd Haynes’s acclaimed May December with Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore will also screen. Meanwhile, Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers, starring Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, and a Steve McQueen doc about Amsterdam under Nazi occupation, Occupied City, are set to be in demand.

The BFI Flare gala is Goran Stolevski’s Housekeeping for Beginners, Hayao Miyazaki’s anime and last film The Boy and the Heron is showing, as is cinematographer-turned-director Molly Manning Walker Cannes prize-winner How to Have Sex.

Tickets go on sale on 12^th September 2023.
