Words: Gentleman's Journal
Thursday 15th October saw a host of British talent and London influencers gather together for a Champagne reception and private screening hosted by IWC Schaffhausen.
Held in celebration of The British Film Institute, guests enjoyed a Champagne and canapé reception hosted at The Langham Hotel, before being escorted to the iconic Regent Street Cinema for a private screening of The Lobster – a London Film Festival featured BFI funded film, introduced exclusively on the night by Clare Stewart, Festival Director of the BFI London Film Festival.
The evening saw attendance from a host of rising British talent, including Fresh Meat’s Zawe Ashton, The Tudors’ Tamzin Merchant and Penny Dreadful’s Harry Treadaway – all seen enjoying Laurent Perrier Champagne in The Langham Hotel’s Palm Court before being led theatrically by lantern-light to the Regent Street Cinema. Fellow actor Sam Hoare was also overheard on the night expressing how much he had enjoyed this year’s London Film Festival – especially following the recent success of his wife, Romola Garai, in Suffragette.
Distributed by Picturehouse and released to the public on Friday 16th October, The Lobster features an all-star cast including Colin Farrell, Rachel Weiz, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw and Olivia Colman, and won the Jury Prize at the 68th Cannes Film Festival.
