With its positioning in October after the likes of Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Toronto and Telluride have helped anoint most of the year’s buzziest and most talked about films, the BFI London Film Festival has long been an event where many of these films come together in one place for the first time. This year’s LFF is no exception, kicking off on Oct. 7 with the European premiere of “Elsinore” and a lineup including the likes of “Club Kid,” “Wild Horse Nine,” “The Debut,” “Ink,” “La Bola Negra,” “Primetime,” “Tender Loving Care” and many, many more.
