The BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival will return for its 35
th edition this week.
Taking place between 17-28 March, this year’s event will include 26 feature film screenings as well as a programme of shorts selected in partnership with The British Council.
Beginning in 1986 as Gay’s Own Pictures, by its third instalment the event was renamed the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. In 2014, the event was renamed BFI Flare to reflect the growing diversity of its content.
With more than three decades behind it, BFI Flare is one of the world’s longest-standing queer film events, and the biggest LGBTIQ+ film event in the UK. With its lengthy past comes a rich graphic heritage, perhaps best shown through its film and event posters.
