The season of love-fueled films and conversations will also feature “Jane Austen Day” on November 21. With a season that spans multiple weeks, LOVE will offer viewers 600 bespoke film screenings and experiences at over 300 locations across the UK, which include anniversary screenings of “Brief Encounter” and “Wings of Desire” at Paisley Abbey, pop-up screenings of films including “Vertigo” in Brighton’s Royal Pavilion and family favorites including “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Princess Bride” and “Frozen” at the romantic locations of Castell Coch and Caerphilly Castle, Wales.
With this aim, Stewart has ensured that LOVE will cover three key themes: “The Power of Love,” “Fools For Love” and “Fatal Attractions/” Screenings will be followed by Q&As with directors Stephen Frears, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Mike Newell and Gurinder Chadha, actors Derek Jacobi, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Adrian Lester, John Gordon Sinclair and Claire Grogan, along with musician KT Tunstall. We’re getting back to LOVE: embracing the intimacy of the close-up and the anticipation of the much longed-for screen kiss: the very language of cinema itself.” Heather Stewart, Creative Director of the BFI said, “Film can bring love to life more powerfully than any other art form – it is cinema’s most seductive illusion and has transformed the way we see ourselves, and our love lives. News that Mike Newell, Tess Morris and Jenni Murray will discuss love on the big and small screen at the BFI Southbank has also just been announced. The BFI has revealed its three-month, UK-wide 2015 series, “LOVE: Films to Fall in Love With… Films to Break Your Heart,” sponsored by UK internet provider, Plusnet.
