FEATURED ATTRACTION

OF TIME AND THE SEA aka Baħar Żmien d. Peter Sant, 2018 + Q&A with the director UK Premiere at ICA (10 NOV 18:00):

  • “Australian director Peter Sant’s debut feature is a Maltese-language film about stasis and slow change. On a remote island, an elderly man wracked with dementia dreams he was once a king. His two daughters exist alongside him in a strange region that has recently succumbed to a bizarre malady of mysterious origin.”

NEW AT RADIANT CIRCUS

Films in London this month: SCHOOL DAZE, part of MUSICALS! at BFI (18 NOV).

To help you plan ahead, we’ve posted our epic roundup of London’s repertory seasons & film festivals for the month of November.

Maybe it’s the changeable weather, maybe it’s the General Election or maybe we’re just getting tired at this time of year, but our feel-good featured attraction of the month just has to be MUSICALS! at BFI. The ongoing season goes into hyperdrive this month with singalongs, giant screen events at BFI IMAX and a host of strands and special features. The perfect way to escape the November gloom.
