What a year it’s been for film! A year of new Martin Scorsese, Mia Hansen-Løve and Todd Haynes films… We laughed at Rye Lane and Theatre Camp and cried at Aftersun and Past Lives… And, of course, who could forget Barbenheimer? This year’s London Film Festival bolstered another stellar line-up with new cinematic treats from Paul Haigh and Emerald Fennell. We also had so many exciting titles join our Booking Scheme this year; from Ira Sach’s darkly funny and brutally honest Passages to the unique and stylish debut Medusa Deluxe.
