The Harder They Fall (Netflix/PA)

The BFI London Film Festival returns to the capital and cinemas around the UK on Wednesday, in what organisers are expecting to be an “emotional” return to the big screen.

The festival will open with the world premiere of western The Harder They Fall, starring Idris Elba and Regina King, which will have a star-studded headline gala at London’s Royal Festival Hall and will also screen around the country.
