& national tour highlights go UK-wide: April – September 2005

24 February 2005

The British Film Institute is delighted to present the 19th London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival which will open on 30th March with a gala opening screening of Prey for Rock & Roll, a delicious biopic starring Gina Gershon (courtesy of Parasol Peccadillo). Our Closing Night gala on 13th April will be Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin (courtesy of Tartan Films), a bold and beautiful adaptation of Scott Heim’s novel of childhood trauma. Both screenings take place at the Odeon West End. The rest of the festival will take place at the National Film Theatre and for the first time we will be collaborating on a series of gay artists’ films at Tate Modern.

The London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival is presented by the British Film Institute and programmed by Jonathan Keane, Selina Robertson, Inge Blackman and Brian Robinson. The Festival enjoys the support of a wide range of sponsors including Mayfair Cellars, Renault UK, media partners Time Out, AXM, G3 and Impact distribution. We are also grateful for the support of Soho House, Heaven, Southopia, the Candy Bar, Midnite Express, Konditor & Cook, The Berners Hotel, Canada House, the Goethe Institute, and the Finnish Institute.

This year the LLGFF Patrons’ Scheme includes a highly distinguished group: Clare Balding, Stephen Fry, David Furnish, Paul Gambaccini, Sir Elton John, Isaac Julien, Byrony Lavery, Sir Ian McKellen, Phyllis Nagy, Pratibha Parmar, Patricia Rozema and Sarah Waters.
