The British Film Institute has published its preview of the upcoming London film festival and lists 30 recommendations at http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/london-film-festival-2012-30-recommendations.
Among the films recommended are Beyond the Hills which is the Sight and Sound Gala screenings taking place on Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd October. Director Cristian Mungui's superstition and myth-haunted film focuses on two young nuns in a dilemma over the authority of the Romanian Orthodox Church and by implication with God.
Among the British films to look forward to is Sightseers screening on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st October. This is a black comedy directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Alice Lowe and Steve Oram about nerdish couple Tina (Lowe) and Chris (Oram) from the Midlands, two characters created and developed by Lowe and Oram in their stand-up act over many years. Chris wants to rescue Tina from her fake-bedridden mother and take her on a romantic caravan holiday.
