The intersection of technology and culture may be the main focus of SXSW London, but that’s not to say there isn’t room for a splash of old fashioned period rom-com in the lineup.

On the first day of the Austin spinoff’s second edition in London, “Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day” served as the opening night curtain raiser of the film strand, with the cast and crew in attendance for the well-received world premiere at the Barbican Centre.
