The capital has been the home of some of the biggest names and films in the industry over the past ten days, and with the festival finally coming to a close tomorrow, the results are in for the official competition categories.
Sir David Hare, Tom Hiddleston, David Yates, Sebastian Faulks, Olivia Colman, Kazuo Ishiguru, and many more prominent names presided over the various Juries, and with so much talent this year, I don’t envy what must have been very difficult decisions.
Also being honoured this year are Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter, both of whom have been presented with the BFI Fellowship, the highest honour from the film institute. The former brought his latest feature, Frankenweenie, to the festival for its opening night, whilst the latter stars in Mike Newell’s Great Expectations, bookending the festival nicely as the Closing Night Film.

Time to add some international flavor to your afternoon with the first stills, trailer, and one sheet from filmmaker Barry Berk's latest terror tale, Sleeper's Wake. Dive in with both feet, kids! This one is looking pretty damned good!
The film will make its premiere at the Durban International Film Festival in South Africa.
Synopsis
John Wraith regains consciousness in hospital, his mind awash with drugs and amnesia, a huge centipede of a scar spread across his forehead from a motorcar accident in which his wife and daughter died because he fell asleep at the wheel.
To heal and find solace, he goes to Nature’s Cove, a wild, unspoilt coastal settlement in South Africa, where most of the holiday homes are boarded up and eerily empty over the winter months. It is there that John comes across a 17-year-old girl, Jackie, weeping softly in a boat outside a chalet.
