On our trip to London over half term respect had to be paid at the BFI Southbank, spiritual home for UK film lovers! The plays a vital role in the UK's film culture, celebrating and preserving film history, and promoting artistry, diversity and innovation. It's the Mothership for Community Cinema, and well worth a visit if you've even a passing interest in film. I just wish it was a bit closer to home!
