Many of the hit films from LIFF 2019 are now available to view online, across platforms including Netflix, BFI Player, Curzon Home Cinema, Amazon Prime and Vimeo.  We're keeping you updated with a guide to the latest as they become available.

This week's highlighted film is Fire Will Come. Winner of the Un Certain Regard jury prize at the Cannes Festival, and magnificently shot on 16mm, Oliver Laxe’s follow up to Mimosas, glorifies nature as both serene and violent. Set in the breathtaking, mountainous landscape of Galicia, middle-aged Amador is released from prison after serving a sentence for arson. He returns to live with his mother but his presence sparks hostility from the remote community. Contemplative pacing evokes a sense of poetry in their everyday lives, yet tensions simmer beneath the surface culminating in one of the year’s most unforgettable finales.

Fire Will Come is now available to stream from Amazon Prime, BFI Player, Google Play, iTunes, YouTube & Curzon Home Cinema.
