First Black man receives the BFI Fellowship

London Film Festival

Kelly Reichardt's Certain Women has been named best picture at the London Film Festival, as 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen got its highest honour.
The filmmaker, who already has a Turner Prize and Oscar under his belt, was presented with the BFI Fellowship prize at the annual awards ceremony for his "outstanding contribution to film culture".


Speaking to the British Film Institute ahead of the ceremony, McQueen said: "I first walked into the BFI library and cinema 28 years ago.

"To think that I will now be a Fellow and honorary member, with such a distinguished list of people, is mind-blowing. I'm humbly honoured."
