@BFI Thanks for correcting the error, but it sold out yesterday. Frustrating, as I could have bought tickets and been fine after all. I guess my only hope is to try again on Oct 2nd?
Also, is there anyway to search for films outside the Family strand that u15s *can* go to?

[Ludo Smolski @ToWitLudo]

@BFI When trying to book tickets for Animal Farm there was a pop up that said "15 and over only". Why wasn't this made clear in brochure or programme and why should it be the case for a broadly comic adaptation of a book that is a set text for 11 yr olds? cc @IJustinJohnson1

Also, any #LFF recommendations for films that a film and LFF-loving 12 year old might enjoy/be allowed into? Pref non-subtitled. Thanks

[Ludo Smolski @ToWitLudo]

@markcousinsfilm All sympathy to you, Mark.

Fascinating, chilling, essential. Another thread from Cory Doctorow that should be compulsory reading.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

I've spent decades obsessed with the weirdest corner of the weirdest section of the worst internet law in the US: Sec 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which felonizes helping others configure their computers to serve their own interests over the manufacturers'.

Obviously missed more than I saw - On Falling had a lot of buzz and was sorry to miss it but will hopefully catch soon. Any other recommendations from London Film Festival please let me know! #LFF #LFF2024

@simonthewriter England exciting? We can only dream! Talking of which, I'm off to bed.

[Ludo Smolski @ToWitLudo]

@simonthewriter Hopefully you'll wake up for Ned v Tur which should be fun (having been comatose for the previous game, I suspect).

[Ludo Smolski @ToWitLudo]

Essential reading! Terrific thread.

[David Hines @hradzka]

I always complain that movie & TV sets these days are too aspirational lifestyle

e.g. RED DRAGON (2002) vs. MANHUNTER (1986) — Ed Norton & William Petersen as same dude w/ same job in same story; compare their houses (MH left, RD right) — but I rewatched & it's more than that

Off to Series Mania to run a workshop for international screenwriters who will then pitch their drama series at Forum. Lots to look forward to!

@HanleighPrior Thanks, will ask the UK office about this.

[Ludo Smolski @ToWitLudo]

@HanleighPrior What sort of problem? Google not helping much...
