Support the BFI and see the UK premiere of 100 Nights of Hero as it closes the festival on the evening of Sunday 19 October 2025.

100 Nights of Hero (2025)

Advance tickets are now available, before they go on public sale, for the Closing Night Gala of the 2025 BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express. 

Join us on Sunday 19 October for the UK premiere of 100 Nights of Hero, by director Julia Jackman, at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, with members of the ensemble cast expected to attend.

You can walk the red carpet, be among the first to see the eagerly anticipated film, and your donation will support the BFI’s work as a charity.  

A bold and beautiful fairytale based on Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel, 100 Nights of Hero follows Cherry, whose neglectful husband departs after placing a secret wager to test her fidelity, and her sharp-witted maid Hero as they fend off as dangerously seductive visitor.   

Julia Jackman’s second feature 100 Nights of Hero marks a return to the BFI London Film Festival with her debut feature Bonus Track premiering at the festival in 2023.   

You’re doing more than buying a ticket, you’re supporting the next generation of UK filmmakers. Thank you.  

Together, we can do more.
