We invite members of the UK and international press to register for the Industry Forum at BFI London Film Festival.
The BFI LFF Press pass remains the same as previous years, and 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, as in previous years.
As always we encourage and welcome all press and media to apply, and they will be accredited if they meet our criteria.
In response to feedback last year from accredited press keen to access events which have previously been open to industry delegates only, we have introduced an additional option for 2023 – a Press+Industry pass.
This pass will offer access to events targeted towards industry delegates in the Industry Forum, and mirrors the benefits of the Industry+ pass.
