There are 11 films in the Official Competition – including Memoir of a Snail (Australia), Four Mothers (Ireland and UK), Under the Volcano (Poland) and Thank You for Banking with Us (Palestine and Germany) – plus other screenings across special presentations and thematic strands.

Elsewhere, LFF’s Screen Talks programme invites Andrea Arnold, Sean Baker, Denis Villeneuve and Daniel Kaluuya, plus Lupita Nyong’o and Zoe Saldaña, to discuss their careers.
