Over the last couple of weeks every chance I’ve had, I’ve have been dashing to an assortment of London Film Festival pre-screenings of feature films due to appear at the fest. As ever there’s a wide range on offer and the selection I’ve managed to catch so far reveals this…
So, here are my picks on the very eve on the fest of what I’ve seen, would recommend and what we are looking forward to.
Though only in its second year, Moniker Art Fair has caused a stir internationally by providing an art fair environment for the sort of work normally overlooked by the traditional art world. Founder, director and curator Frankie Shea and senior advisor Cedar Lewisohn gave us their take on the rise of street art in London and the rest of the art world.
RR: How is Moniker different from other art fairs?
The generous folk at Lomography lent us a Diana camera to capture some images at London Fashion Week-as a lomography virgin I was a bit nervous about lighting etc but I'm actually thrilled by the effects that have come out in these pictures. A Diana camera is going firmly on my Christmas wishlist.
Directed by Joachim Trier (Norway)

The 55th BFI London film festival is showing so many brilliant films this year, but I wanted to draw your attention to these two which I've been looking forward to for ages.
