If you have indicated access requirements on your form, we will contact you shortly. Alternatively, if you wish to contact us, please email delegateservices@bfi.org.uk.

Screenings with access provisions, such as audio description and captioning, will be confirmed when the full schedule of press and industry screenings are announced. In all cases we will endeavour to support your access requirements.

All screenings are subject to change of screen or venue, and we will inform you if this impacts your access requirements.

We are delighted to be able to offer Festival filmmakers and their core team accreditation. Individuals who qualify for this type of accreditation will be contacted directly. 
 
Please note all screenings in the public programme require a ticket for entry, including your own film. If you wish to have a seat for your own screening, please contact your guest representative in advance. 

Yes. The BFI London Film Festival welcomes all delegates to attend and apply for accreditation. 

Due to rights restrictions, only those based in the UK during the Festival will be able to access the films included in the online press and industry programme. 

We can! Please contact delegateservices@bfi.org.uk once your registration has been confirmed to request an invitation letter. We encourage you to do this as soon as possible to increase the chances of your application being processed on time. 

Photographers will only need to apply for a Press Pass if they require access to the additional benefits. Otherwise, photography accreditation for all LFF red carpets is handled by LFFphotography@ddapr.com. 

The confirmation email may take 2 working days to arrive in your inbox. If you have registered for accreditation at the weekend, you should receive a confirmation email the next working day. 
 
If you have not received an email confirmation of your accreditation within two working days, email delegateservices@bfi.org.uk.
