51st London Film Festival - RT's Highlights
We pick 20 films from the fest.

Welcome to the Times bfi 51st London Film Festival, the capital's annual event celebrating the best in cinema from around the globe. Running this year from 17th October to the 1st November, the festival will play host to many local, national and international films, premieres, actors and directors.Unlike the hyper-competative and sales-led environments of Cannes and Sundance, the London Film Festival is an altogether simpler affair, inviting members of the public to sample the films on offer. And the festival's timing puts it in the perfect position to pick early Oscar hopefuls; many of the films in the programme are already generating early buzz and for most in the UK it'll be the first and only chance to see them before the end of the year.
So it's with that in mind that RT-UK editor Joe Utichi and film critic Paul Anderson have been hitting the festival to cherry pick the twenty films from the festival you're likely to be hearing a lot about in the coming months.
