London Film Festival 2010 preview

So, this year’s London Film Festival is my 17th in 18 years. Between 1993 and 2009, I saw 245 films at the festival…which is close to 429 hours (or nearly 18 days!) sat staring at moving images on a screen.

The breakdown by year looks like this:
• 1993 – 6
• 1994 – 0
• 1995 – 5
• 1996 – 6
• 1997 – 10
• 1998 – 10
• 1999 – 14
• 2000 – 18
• 2001 – 17
• 2002 – 20
• 2003 - 16
• 2004 – 16
• 2005 – 18
• 2006 – 17
• 2007 – 21
• 2008 – 27
• 2007 – 24

Combine the running total with the 21 I expect to see this year and I reach 266, meaning I should reach the 300 mark during the 2012 festival. I can’t wait!
