The festival's first day has a moving availability board rather than a simple yes/no answer. At cutoff, Supporting Role at the ICA at 5:30 p.m. BST showed a buy route; Elsinore showed standard tickets sold out but a fundraising-ticket path. Many other screenings were sold out.
Treat the official day page as live inventory, not a catalogue of promises. One tactic is to choose by venue and time window, then check the available screenings. BFI LFF — October 7
