The Festival’s opening night saw the International Premiere of ‘Saltburn’ directed, produced and written by Academy Award Winner Emerald Fennell, starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe and Carey Mulligan.
This year’s American Express Gala film is ‘One Life’, starring Anthony Hopkins. Headline galas also include the Martin Scorsese film ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ and Bradley Cooper’s ‘Maestro’. The festival will close with the World Premiere of Kibwe Tavares & Daniel Kaluuya’s ‘The Kitchen’, co-written by Joe Murtagh, who was awarded Christie’s ‘Most Promising Student Award’ at the National Film and Television School in 2015.
Both the opening and closing evenings will be held at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall following successful showings in 2022. In-person attendance in 2022 was 189,200 with an additional 101,900 people joining online.
