LOVEFiLM

When a festival ends it’s become LOVEFiLM tradition to put together a blooper reel of when things don’t go according to plan. Expect lots of blah blahs and a little bit of swearing, and hopefully you’ll enjoy having a laugh at our expense. We present to you, The 2011 London Film Festival outtakes…

That’s it, 16 days later and the 55th BFI London Film Festival has come to an end. Of course we were on the red carpet for the premiere of closing night film The Deep Blue Sea, to talk to director Terence Davies and actor Tom Hiddleston, plus we catch up with Artistic Director of the festival, Sandra Hebron. And if that wasn’t enough, the LOVEFiLM team talk about their festival hightlights. Enjoy!

You’ve watched us chat to the stars on the red carpet, now see what happened inside this year’s awards…

The penultimate night of the London Film Festival brought us the awards, and we were on the red carpet to chat to whoever we came across, including David Cronenberg, Terry Gilliam and Gillian Anderson.
