Veteran star DUSTIN HOFFMAN, director TIM BURTON and actor FOREST WHITAKER are lined up to appear at this year’s (06) 50th London Film Festival.
The A-listers will hit the red carpet from 18 October (06), with Whitaker’s new film THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND opening the event. But artistic director SANDRA HEBRON still fears the occasion will be dwarfed by international festivals including the Rome Film Festival - which coincides with London’s extravaganza.
And Hebron is concerned that lack of funding may threaten the London Film Festival’s future - even though it routinely attracts star names.
She says, "We lag behind other festivals of similar size and stature. (The festival) operates on a very modest budget compared to its rivals.
"We’ve done a lot of consultation this year and there is a recognition that it has a huge amount of potential, but that more could be done."
