The essential guide to the London Film Festival

Get the inside track on the all the films and events you'll want to catch at the Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival

Who's up for a world cinema marathon? It's that time of year again, as the organisers of the Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival hurriedly dust down the red carpets, check all the prints are in good shape are make sure all the directors (or 'talent' as they are so often referred to) are ready to introduce their movies to the public.

As usual, the Time Out film team have been spending their evenings and weekends trying to watch and review as much of the programme as humanly possible. We've also been out talking to directors, kicking off with our profile of Steve McQueen, whose debut, 'Hunger', is this year's Time Out gala.
