LFF For Free: Instant Gra-TV-Cation Is The Panel Event To Watch

This year's 66th BFI is taking place between 5th-16th October in London as well as in select cinemas around the country. But what if you want to get stuck into London Film Festival from the comfort of your own home? What if you wanted to get involved for FREE?

As part of LFF For Free, is Instant Gra-TV-Cation, a panel discussion featuring industry professionals looking at the rise of streaming and what sets TV apart from film.

Taking the form of a panel discussion, Instant Gra-TV-Cation will dive into the world of streaming. The panel will look at viewing habits and our growing obsession with TV to discuss why our watchlists might be too full. And given the rise in actors crossing over from the big screen to the small screen, just where do we draw the line between film and TV? This online showcase will feature a panel discussion which will launch on the BFI YouTube channel on October 14th.

The panel will be made up of Lisa Kerrigan, Senior Curator of Television at the BFI National Archive, Oliver Lyttelton, screenwriter and creator of Cheaters (2022) and (2022), and Hanna Flint, film critic and author of Strong Female Character. The event will be hosted by LFF's Series & Episodic Programmer, Rowan Woods.

Instant Gra-TV-Cation promises to be an excellent event and a great way to enjoy the wonders of London Film Festival not only from your own home, but also for free. You can find out more about the event here.
