Feminist Fantasy Caps Off Star-Studded 2025 London Film Festival

The 2025 BFI London Film Festival is drawing to a close this weekend, with the highly anticipated U.K. premiere of the feminist fantasy film "100 Nights of Hero" set to cap off the event. The festival has been a whirlwind of activity over the past 12 days, with a schedule crammed full of major films that have already made the rounds at other prestigious festivals.

Despite the absence of high-profile world premieres, the London Film Festival has managed to secure a diverse lineup that includes almost every significant feature that has been showcased elsewhere. From "Hamnet" to "Frankenstein," the festival has offered audiences a comprehensive taste of the year's cinematic offerings, solidifying its status as a crucial stop on the awards season circuit.

Beyond the screenings, the festival has also delivered a wealth of star-studded events, including a highly anticipated conversation with the elusive and celebrated actor Daniel Day-Lewis. The festival's industry program has also been buzzing with debates and discussions, while the city's luxury hotels, private clubs, and bars have played host to a flurry of festival-adjacent activities, from tastemaker sessions to special screenings and Q&As.
