DBLG once again look after the yearly ident for the BFI London Film Festival, having worked it on each year since 2017. ‘The BFI‘s London Film Festival is a refreshingly different kind of festival. It’s far-reaching, diverse and reflects London’s own belief that everyone is welcome.’
A bold visual identity for one of the world’s most iconic film festivals.

I was invited back to create the 2022 audio ident, following in the footsteps of the 2021 version I'd created. The main aim was to keep a strong cinematic feel with building positive anticipation for the title reveal.
The visual theme was built around a colourful cascade of movement. The audio was interpreted with pleasant flutuating rich pads and colourful musical flourishes; using a combination of orchestral instrumentation and modern hybrid synthesiser sounds.

Two mixes were provided, one optimised for online streaming media and another with levels more suitable for cinema (maximum 82 dBleq[m]).
