The screenings and events on today as part of the BFI London Film Festival 2023.

The BFI London Film Festival continues today, with screenings set to take place at the BFI Southbank and locations in and around the London venue.

Those who missed the British premiere of David Fincher's new movie, 'The Killer,' have another opportunity to see Michael Fassbender in action before its arrival on Netflix later this year, while Paul Giamatti's reunion with "Sideways" director Alexander Payne plays one final time this morning with 'The Holdovers.' There is also a chance later this evening to check out Jonathan Glazer's investigation of the domestic dream of Nazi Germany in this brilliantly penetrating rethink of Holocaust cinema, inspired by the Martin Amis novel - 'Zone of Interest.'

Molly Manning Walker’s highly kinetic and slyly subversive film, 'How to Have Sex,' is also screening this evening; the British film focuses on Tara (a superb McKenna-Bruce), a teenager on holiday with friends in pursuit of drinks, sun and sex at a Cretan resort. But when a night of hedonism turns sour, Mia starts to question her experience, her friendships and her own future, even as the neon-soaked, endless partying continues around her.
