With the BFI film festival all wrapped up, film-goers and culture vultures can look forward to the 10th Anniversary of the BFM Film Festival. Celebrating black British talent the festival opens with Horace Ove's, The Ghost of Hing King Estate, which tells the story of mysterious deaths amongst plantation workers on an estate.
Based on a true story from the 1960s, Ove who has been named the 'godfather' of black British film hits back with a film that lets the audience make up their own mind as to what is going on in the plot. Instead, it's the characters in this film which the audience is instantly drawn to, making them universally empathetic and familiar.
Boris Johnson has congratulated the BFM;
"With venues across London showing a variety of films this year looks set to be the most successful festival to date. It is important that we acknowledge the range of creative talent in our city and this event showcases the excellent work of black filmmakers and actors."
The BFM Festival kicks off on the 7th November, you can buy tickets and find out more information about the films and events here.
