There are two types of passes available:
- Press pass
- Press+Industry pass
The Press pass offers access to all press and industry screenings. Press pass holders can apply for evening and weekend tickets through the industry website, and seat filling opportunities are available each day.
We also invite accredited members of the UK and international press to apply for a Press+Industry pass, giving access to events within the Industry Forum at BFI London Film Festival, including networking events.
As always we encourage and welcome all press and media to apply, and they will be accredited if they meet our criteria.
