And finally, advance notice of events at the beginning of November, details of which will no doubt become clearer over the coming weeks.

The Barbican Korean Film Festival is rapidly filling up.
There are only about 15 seats available for the opener (Kim Ki-Duk’s “Breathe”)
Hope you managed to get a ticket. I managed to get one for Cyborg, but I’m not in town for Breath.
