Charles Gant chronicles the evolution of London’s long-running Lgbt film festival.
When in 1986, film programmer Mark Finch persuaded the British Film Institute (BFI) to let him present a seven-day season of nine gay and lesbian features under the banner Gays’ Own Pictures, nobody would have envisaged the scale and popularity of the annual festival that resulted – or its status within the BFI calendar.
As the 30th edition of London’s Lgbt film festival sets to launch this week with the world premiere of the Duncan Kenworthy-produced The Pass at the 1,679-capacity Odeon Leicester Square, the BFI can be forgiven for allowing itself a celebratory mood over the event it rebranded Flare two years ago.
Programmers past and present all concur regarding the distance the festival has travelled in its 30 years. Says Briony Hanson, co-programmer from 1997 to 2000 and now director of film at the British Council: “I look at the festival now, going to the...

Nielsen has a new way for marketers to track TV-related conversations happening on social media. The television ratings firm’s new Social Content Ratings service will soon measure conversation data from Facebook.
Nielsen has tracked what TV shows users talk about on Twitter for over three years now with its Twitter TV ratings. Nielsen is expanding this service to allow TV networks to finally pull viewership data and information from Facebook (while Nielsen will add Instagram stats and figures at a later date). The Social Content Ratings will track the conversations users on these platforms have around programming from TV and even over-the-top services, both during and after a show’s linear airing.
“Facebook plays host to a global TV conversation in part because fans enjoy discussing shows with the people who matter most to them,” wrote Facebook’s Media Partnerships Director Nick Grudin and Media Research Manager Brian Robinson in a company blog post.

British Film Institute renames the event to reflect more diverse understanding of identity
It was launched in 1986, a progressive move just as the Conservative government's section 28 was about to come on to the statute book, and is one of the longest running festivals of its kind in the world.
But the London Lesbian and Gay film festival has decided it is time for a change to make the event more inclusive and reflect a more diverse understanding of identity and have rebranded the event BFI Flare: London Lgbt festival.
Clare Stewart, the BFI's head of cinemas and festivals, said the name change reflected the increasing diversity of films and audiences. "We're all feeling very excited and very wedded, but I'm sure there's going to be a lot of debate and we would expect and welcome that."

Hong Khaou’s drama, starring Ben Whishaw, to open the BFI London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival 2014.
The 28th BFI London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (March 20-30) is to open with the European premiere of Lilting, Hong Khaou’s cross-generational, cross-cultural drama starring Ben Whishaw, Cheng Pei Pei (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).

Lilting is produced by Dominic Buchanan, through Film London Microwave in association with BBC Films, with exec producers Stink, Sums Film & Media and Bob & Co.
Artificial Eye will distribute in the UK and Protagonist Pictures are handling international sales.
