Film in Print
A weekend chock-full of author talks, book signings and panel discussions, celebrating the art of writing about film.
Returning to LFF for Free for its second year, now in its new home at the BFI Reuben Library, Film in Print is a celebration of writing about film – from the ever-thriving world of magazines to the rise of new authors whose books are filling shelves around the country.
Across a whole weekend of conversations and discussions, Film in Print shines the spotlight on this vital corner of the industry: hearing from the key players both on the page and behind the scenes, examining the trends and topics found between the covers, and lifting the lid on the art and craft of writing about cinema.
