This October we invite UK and international film professionals and press to join us for the Industry Forum at BFI London Film Festival 2025 in partnership with American Express. 

The Industry Forum brings together several industry activities under one umbrella, including:

There will also be a new LFF Expanded Industry Day supported by Southbank Centre. Taking place on Wednesday 15 October, it will bring together the latest in the fields of gaming, immersive and beyond.

The LFF Expanded pass gives access to a full-day of talks, showcases and networking including: 

  • A Works-in-Progress showcase for UK-based extended reality (XR), immersive or gaming projects.
  • Industry talks: vital and timely conversations within the immersive and gaming industries.  
  • Networking reception: a key networking moment for the UK-wide industry working within the XR, immersive and gaming space.
