This is my diary of all the films I went to see at the BFI London Film Festival 2024. I went to see a whopping 41 films last year. It is such a privilege each year to get to go as press to the festival so thank you so much BFI for giving me my pass so I get to watch and write about the incredible films you screen each year at the festival. It is a truly wonderful part of my year where I have met so many incredible people and made some lifelong friends.I do go into spoilers here so if you are not a fan of hearing them skip over that film or watch it then come back. As always I would love to hear your opinions on the films I saw so lets have a discussion in the comments.So here is the list of all the films and the time stamps of where they are in the podcast:Intro - 00:00 - 1:00Four Mothers - Letterboxd - Trailer - 1:00 - 2:22Queer - Letterboxd - Trailer - 2:23 - 3:49Bring Them Down - Letterboxd - Trailer - 3:50 - 4:49Nightbitch - Letterboxd - Trailer - 4:50 - 6:19 Bird - Letterboxd - Trailer - 6:20 - 7:29 When Fall is Coming - Letterboxd - Trailer - 7:30 - 8:50 A Real Pain - Letterboxd - Trailer - 8:51 - 9:58 A Traveler's Needs - Letterboxd - Trailer - 9:59 - 11:11 Sofa, So Good - Letterboxd - Trailer - 11:12 - 12:14  Mother Vera - Letterboxd - Trailer - 12:15 - 13:09  Black Box Diaries - Letterboxd - Trailer - 13:10 - 14:13 Julie Keeps Quiet - Letterboxd - Trailer - 14:14 - 15:11  Sister Midnight - Letterboxd - Trailer - 15:12 - 16:23That Christmas - Letterboxd - Trailer - 16:24 - 17:54 The Piano Lesson - Letterboxd - Trailer - 17:55 - 18:54The Seed of the Sacred Fig Tree - Letterboxd - Trailer - 18:55 - 19:44 Emilía Perez - Letterboxd - Trailer - 19:45 - 21:17 HappyEnd - Letterboxd - Trailer - 21:18 - 22:15  Skincare - Letterboxd - Trailer - 22:16 - 22:51The Weekend - Letterboxd - Trailer - 22:52 - 23:45 Aicha - Letterboxd - Trailer - 23:46 - 24:41 Anora - Letterboxd - Trailer - 24:42 - 25:36 Piece by Piece - Letterboxd - Trailer - 25:37 - 26:27 The Wild Robot - Letterboxd - Trailer - 26:28 - 27:19Last Swim - Letterboxd - Trailer - 27:20 - 28:08 Blitz - Letterboxd - Trailer - 28:09 - 28:55 Joy - Letterboxd - Trailer - 28:56 - 29:39 The Apprentice - Letterboxd - Trailer - 29:40 - 30:17 Hard Truths - Letterboxd - Trailer - 30:18 - 31:23 We Live in Time - Letterboxd - Trailer - 31:24 - 31:57 The Room Next Door - Letterboxd - Trailer - 31:58 - 32:40 Maria - Letterboxd - Trailer - 32:41 - 33:20 Nickle Boys - Letterboxd - Trailer - 33:21 - 34:17  The Extraordinary Miss Flowers - Letterboxd - Trailer - 34:18 - 34:42  On Falling - Letterboxd - Trailer - 34:43 - 35:21 My Everything - Letterboxd - Trailer - 35:22 - 36:01 All of You - Letterboxd - NO Trailer (Very disappointing!
