The 69th BFI London Film Festival is set to join us once again this October. Festival director, Kristy Matheson, has curated a programme which highlights this year’s themes surrounding family, love, and belonging.

Sorda (2025) is a Spanish drama directed by Eva Libertad about a woman named Ángela (Miriam Garlo) who is deaf and leads her life in Spain’s countryside with her partner, Héctor (Álvaro Cervantes). She experiences the new onset of pregnancy and the following stages of early motherhood, whilst facing the frustrations and difficulties which arise within a hearing-normative world.
