57th BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL, OCT 9 - 20, 2013 VARIOUS VENUES
http://www.bfi.org.uk/lff
Really excited about this one and have selected a few faves:
Half of a Yellow Sun, Oct 19 - 20, 2013
Ok, I'll admit I am a poor reader and still racing to finish the book, but all my great friends tell me how great a writer Chimamanda Adichie is and this one I cannot wait to see!
Tickets sold out super fast and I hear there may be another general release or you could just turn up and hope someone with a ticket does not :-)
12 Years a Slave, Oct 18 - 20, 2013
Gooooo Lupita!
Forget that Chitwetel Ejiofor and Brad Pitt are a part of the cast!
This slavery epic stars Kenyan-bred Lupita Nyong'o and I cannot wait to see her doing her thing on an even bigger screen!
Grigris, Oct 15 & 17, 2013
Never have I seen a film set in Chad!
A photographer and a model inter-twinned in the criminal underground of the city should make this one worthwhile!
Gone too far! Oct 18 - 20, 2013
The spotlight is on Peckham again! This should be a rib-tickler!
And several others including:
Of Good Report - South Africa; Sixteen - Congo/London; Mother of George - Nigeria/USA; B for Boy - Nigeria; Siddharth - India
