Reviewed by: Visit London
Film fans will be in heaven at the British Film Institute. Much more than just a cinema, the BFI has a programme of rare screenings and cult classics, as well as on-stage interviews with leading figures from the film industry. It is also home to The BFI National Archives, the world's greatest collection of film and TV clips. Treat the kids to a monthly themed funday, which features a family film, activities and a special children's menu at benugo bar and kitchen.

Always something interesting going on

I visit the BFI Southbank many times either for film festivals or to see a new release. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Film start on time and guess what - no adverts! Great location as well.

  • Acoustic Images

    Exhibition

    7 Jul 2009 to 7 Jul 2009

    The Royal College of Art course Acoustic Images encourages experimental and commercial application of the most innovative sonic and visual arts. Since its inception it has continually produced striking works and graduates such as Karen Mirza (No.w.here Lab) and Sophie Clements (Jerwood Moving Image Award). This programme is comprised of previously unseen work by graduating students as well as the most exciting graduates from the last decade, augmented by work from group leader Jon Wozencroft (Touch) and tutor Nicky Hamlyn. This promises to be an evening of provocative, experimental audio-visual suprises.

     
  • A Doll's House

    Film

    11 Jul 2009 to 16 Jul 2009

    Working with playwright David Mercer, Losey cut down, opened up and added a prelude to Ibsen's 1879 play, a work he greatly admired for its criticism of bourgeois values, and shot it largely on location in Norway. Jane Fonda brings her fervent feminism to the role of Nora Helmer, the provincial housewife and mother who finds the courage to rebel against her suffocating marriage. Fonda was frequently at odds with Losey, but the final outcome is impressive.
