67TH BFI London Film Festival presents: EXPERIMENTA PROGRAMME 2023
The 67th BFI London Film Festival (4 – 15 October) in partnership with American Express will
this year present a powerful programme of artist films and innovative moving image works,
through its Experimenta strand.
The BFI London Film Festival (LFF) celebrates the moving image in all its forms – from shorts
and features to television and immersive – and the Experimenta programme invites audiences
to explore and experience powerful ways of storytelling that revolutionise and reshape our
vision of cinema.
The LFF is hosted in two major London hubs on the South Bank and in the West End, with both
areas at the heart of the BFI London Film Festival experience. Galas will screen at the
Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall while titles from the main programme will screen at a
range of cinemas across the city from the BFI’s own South Bank Cinemas – BFI Southbank and
BFI IMAX – to fantastic partner venues Vue West End, the Prince Charles Cinema, Curzon Soho,
Curzon Mayfair. The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) plays host to all the Experimenta
features and shorts, with a selection of the films screening at nine partner venues across the
UK.
The 2023 programme focuses on some of today’s most pressing issues, ranging from the war
in Ukraine to the UK criminal justice system, Black Lives Matter protests and the rippling global
effects of colonisation. Showcasing some of the most exciting emerging contemporary artists
and filmmakers from across the world, the programme also provides an urgent platform to
indigenous artist filmmakers from the USA, Australia, Canada and Siberia.
