The British Film Institute's LGBT film festival, BFI Flare, has been cancelled due to coronavirus.

A statement from BFI said:

It's with heavy hearts that the BFI announces that due to the scale and complexity of running a large international film festival with filmmakers set to travel to it from across the world, it has taken the very difficult decision to cancel the 2020 edition of BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival (18-29th March) as the Covid-19 pandemic rapidly evolves.
