Become A Film Tweeter at the London Film Festival

As official hosts of the London Film Festival,
Vue searches for the ultimate film tweeter


To celebrate its official hosting of the 54th BFI London Film Festival, in partnership with American Express from 13th – 28th October, Vue Entertainment today launched a search to find the ultimate film tweeters to review the Festival’s highlights on behalf of Vue cinemas.   

Three lucky winners will have the chance to review some of the Festival’s highlights on behalf of Vue including; Never Let Me Go, starring Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield, as well as Danny Boyle’s new film 127 Hours and the thriller Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder. 

The winning tweeters – who will be chosen by Vue’s very own Tweeter and movie expert - will each receive exclusive press passes to the Festival as well as travel and hotel accommodation in London. To be in with a chance of winning this money-can’t-buy opportunity and to be one of the first to see a whole host of fantastic new films, simply visit www.myvue.com/londonfilmfestival, tell us why you should be picked to be Vue’s official London Film Festival reviewer (max 400 words) and write a review of the last film you’ve seen in just 140 characters.  

Vue’s flagship West End cinema on Leicester Square is the home for many of the Festival’s galas and “Film on the Square” events again this year after the Festival relocated to Vue in 2009. Packed full of state-of-the-art digital and 3D technology, Vue West End will give movie-goers the best quality seating and viewing experience from which to enjoy the wealth of premiere festival entertainment on offer. Priority booking for the London Film Festival will be available to those Vue customers on 26th September who have signed up to the e-newsletter.

Tim Richards, CEO at Vue Entertainment, says, “At Vue, we’re honoured to be the official host of the prestigious BFI London Film Festival for the second year running, and what better way to celebrate this than to share the experience of the Festival with some of our biggest film fanatics. Live Twitter updates from the Festival by film fans, is the perfect way to bring the whole experience to life for people up and down the country.” 

Sandra Hebron, Artistic Director of the 54th BFI London Film Festival, says, “We’re delighted to be returning to Vue to host many of the exclusive galas and events. Vue is a perfect choice as it has long been one of the flagship cinema venues on the square, and will again provide the festival with a range of modern venues which will be able to cope with the increasing demand from the Festival audiences.”

The 54th BFI London Film Festival, in partnership with American Express runs from 13-28 October 2010.
