London Film Festival Head Kristy Matheson On Landing ‘Blitz’ & The Online Criticism Of The Festival’s Ticketing System: “Apologies For The Long Delays”
BFI's London Film Festival runs October 9 to 20.
With titles like Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire and Mati Diop’s Dahomey, London Film Festival head Kristy Matheson, in her second year at the helm, inches further towards what appears to be an interesting strategic shift at the LFF: A full-scale embrace of the avant-garde.

Below, Matheson digs into this year’s programme, landing McQueen’s Blitz, and the online complaints about the BFI’s London Film Festival ticketing system.
