BFI Flare: London LGBTQ+ Film Festival
Sobre este evento
BFI Flare es el festival de cine LGBTQIA+ del British Film Institute. Comenzó en 1986 como el London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival y ahora es una de las paradas principales en el circuito de festivales queer. Dura unos doce días en marzo, principalmente en BFI Southbank en el South Bank, y parte del programa también está disponible en línea en BFI Player.
Es un festival de cine, no una fiesta. Compras entradas para proyecciones individuales, muchas seguidas de preguntas y respuestas con los cineastas. El programa se divide en tres secciones: Hearts, Bodies y Worlds. Los miembros de BFI pueden reservar primero, y las grandes proyecciones, así como las galas de apertura y clausura, se agotan en los primeros días de venta al público. A menudo, vuelven a salir asientos por devoluciones. El bar de BFI Southbank y la terraza junto al río actúan como punto de encuentro del festival entre películas.
La 40ª edición se celebró del 18 al 29 de marzo de 2026. Se proyectaron 65 largometrajes y 63 cortometrajes de 48 países, incluidas 31 preestrenos mundiales. El informe final de BFI contó 41.283 asistentes, un aumento del 32 por ciento, en parte gracias a dos exposiciones de aniversario. Las fechas de 2027 no se habían anunciado cuando consultamos. BFI anunció las fechas de 2026 a principios de diciembre de 2025, y el festival se celebra normalmente en la segunda quincena de marzo.
