BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival will take place from 13 to 24 March 2024. I might actually be in London during that time! The Festival is the UK's largest queer film event and will showcase contemporary films as well as a few classics.

Here's a summary of the 2023 festival. It managed to be a great success and avoid the "segregation police!" You know, the way they talk about it, it almost sounds like a GENRE!
Connoting the light of a cinema projector and also a beacon, ‘Flare’ suggests the spark of an idea, moving forward and growing outward – we feel it is inclusive and welcoming to all audiences. Under its umbrella, it now encompasses our regular LGBT BFI Southbank programme (formerly Out at the Pictures), as well as a new channel on the BFI Player. This new identity helps brings even greater visibility to queer cinema and expanding the access for LGBT-interested audiences.
