The BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival will commence on March 19, featuring the international premiere of Andrew Ahn's The Wedding Banquet. This romantic comedy remake, based on the original 1993 film, stars Bowen Yang and Lily Gladstone, and centers on a queer couple navigating love and family expectations. The festival will showcase a variety of LGBTQ+-themed films and will conclude with the erotic thriller Night Stage. This year's program highlights themes of identity, cultural conflict, and familial relationships within the queer community.
"The Wedding Banquet is a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity."
"I'm incredibly excited for The Wedding Banquet to open BFI Flare, showcasing a vibrant story that resonates within the LGBTQ+ community."
