Director of 100 Nights of Hero, Julia Jackman, said, “The BFI London Film Festival has championed my work since my very early shorts, so bringing 100 Nights of Hero here is profoundly special. To return as the closing night gala is an incredible honor, and we can’t wait to share this film on our home turf with a London audience!”
Kristy Matheson, BFI London Film Festival Director, said, “Julia Jackman is a filmmaker of enormous talent whose work we’ve had the pleasure of presenting in previous editions of the festival. We were genuinely excited to see 100 Nights of Hero and it won us over immediately with its witty scripting, pitch perfect performances and a joyfully rebellious heart. I’m personally honored and delighted to welcome Julia and her talented team to take the stage this year and share this wondrous film with audiences.”
