The BFI London Film Festival (LFF) is contributing two silent films restored by the BFI National Archive, Shiraz: Romance of India (1928) and Epic of Everest (1924) – with richly evocative, newly commissioned scores from contemporary musicians Anoushka Shankar and Simon Fisher Turner.
They are also presenting Rudeboy, a documentary about the UK’s Trojan records, behind many 60s reggae, ska and rocksteady hits from Desmond Dekker to The Maytals; and a short film programme of emerging UK filmmakers.
