London Derby

To describe the least, how competitive annual 69th London Film Festival, from Oct. 6 to 19, 2025, from the world premieres, to the most anticipated of the year, the line-up seems more like the best pictures voted already.

Each gala presentations could re-examine which titles could go all the way down to the wire, throughout the award season.  '25 Cannes Grand-Prix winner, Joachim Trier's Bergmanesque family drama "Sentimental Value" would gather crowd as the "A" title.

Equally Chloe Zhao's "Hamnet" has a showcase as the London Mayors' gala, an imagined story about how Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet", could move on top of the year, through Tokyo International Film Festival also, from Oct. 27.
