Your guide to what’s hot in London
Londoners are preparing themselves for a period of instability and uncertainty, as fears over coronavirus continue to take hold.
The prime minister has urged people to avoid pubs, clubs and theatres, while stopping short of ordering official closures. While many events and things to do across the city are currently going ahead as planned, organisers have begun to pull the plug on events due as a result.
The decision has also been made to suspend major sporting events, with the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League matches all postponed, as well as Six Nations games and England’s cricket tour of Sri Lanka and the decision to move EURO 2020 back 12 months.
These are the events which have been either postponed or cancelled as a result of the coronavirus outbreak – we’ll keep the page updated as and when more events are affected.
For our separate guides to cancelled music events head here, theatre and arts closures and for temporary restaurant closures head here. If there’s anything we’ve missed, let us know by emailing Harry.Fletcher@Standard.co.uk.

BFI Flare Film Festival – cancelled
BFI Flare 2020: 12 films to look forward to
1/12 Cicada
This year’s opener is a semi-autobiographical release written, directed by and starring New York filmmaker Matthew Fifer, in which he explores themes of bisexuality and sexual abuse. Fifer plays introspective New York drifter Ben, who finds himself reckoning with past traumas when he begins a new relationship. The Avengers’ Cobie Smulders also stars.
BFI Flare
2/12 Disclosure
Orange is the New Black’s Laverne Cox fronts this landmark documentary charting the representation of transgender stories in film and television over the past 100 years, analysing depictions that range from dangerous and dehumanising to groundbreaking and empathetic. Unpacking stereotypes and harmful tropes, leading trans stars including Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix) and Mj Rodriguez (Pose) contribute.
BFI Flare
3/12 No Hard Feelings
This Iranian-German feature garnered glowing reviews at the Berlin International Film Festival. In it, Parvis, the son of Iranian-born immigrants, explores his newly-out life as a gay man in his small German town. His indulgent lifestyle is shaken up by the arrival of siblings Banafshe and Amon, who have fled Iran – and when a romance develops between Parvis and Amon, the rift between their disparate identities comes into focus.
BFI Flare
4/12 Summerland
Gemma Arterton and Gugu Mbatha-Raw star in this period tale of an academic working on her thesis as the second world war looms over Britain. When a young London blitz evacuee comes under her care, his youthful spirit wears away her tough exterior, and she opens up about a life-changing affair she once had with another woman.
BFI Flare
5/12 Matthias & Maxime
Prolific French-Canadian director Xavier Dolan – just 30 and already on his eighth feature film – brings his newest film Matthias and Maxime to BFI Flare. A return to form for the director, expect a pointed study of the stifling entrapments of masculinity, following two platonic friends whose relationship is altered when they are required to kiss for a friend’s short film.
BFI Flare
6/12 Justine
After the acclaimed Tucked (BFI Flare 2019), Brighton-born director Jamie Patterson returns with Justine, a story of young love set in his home town. The titular character is disillusioned with life, drinking heavily and slowly self-destructing. But meeting the lively Rachel shakes Justine’s existence as the two develop a powerful connection, and Justine begins to glimpse a future of hope.
BFI Flare
7/12 Moffie
South African director Oliver Hermanus (winner of Cannes’ 2011 Queer Palm Award) returns with his fourth feature Moffie, which tells of a secret love affair between two men serving compulsory military service in 1980s South Africa. Its name derived from a derogatory term for gay men, Hermanus says Moffie is a study of “how the Apartheid system, the army and the conservative nature of this (South Africa) fed young boys an ideology of superiority and hate.”
BFI Flare
8/12 Lingua Franca
This story of an undocumented Filipino trans woman working in Brooklyn as a carer is a work of personal and political art from writer-director-actor Isabel Sandoval. Offering a window into the lives of people who slip through the cracks in 21st century America, Lingua Franca also features a performance from the late actress Lynn Cohen.
BFI Flare
9/12 Monsoon
Hong Khau’s debut Lilting, starring Ben Wishaw, was a poetic masterpiece; his follow-up, Monsoon, looks to have the same magic in its veins. With Henry Golding starring as Kit, a young man following his roots back to Vietnam, Monsoon analyses cultural displacement and sexuality as Kit finds romance with Lewis, an African-American man in Ho Chi Minh City.
BFI Flare
10/12 Suk Suk
A “delicately rendered and quietly affecting” love story (at least, according to the Hollywood Reporter), Suk Suk follows two older men who embark on an unexpected love affair. In modern Hong Kong, Pak, a taxi driver in his 70s, falls in love with Hoi, a retiree in his mid-60s; both men are closeted and hide their true selves from their families. Queer films rarely feature characters in their old age, and so Suk Suk looks to be a singular delight.
BFI Flare
11/12 A Dog Barking at the Moon
Winner of the jury Teddy Award for best LGBT film at the Berlin International Film Festival, A Dog Barking at the Moon finds a Chinese family in turmoil. Huang returns to Beijing from New York with her American husband, finding her parents in a loveless marriage; her mother having joined a Buddhist cult while her father has taken a male lover. A study of family and east-meets-west, made all the more wrenching by its semi-autobiographical context.
BFI Flare
12/12 Changing the Game
This US documentary Changing the Game looks at three transgender athletes competing professionally in America, thrust into a life of activism by way of pursuing their passions. Winner of the audience award at LA’s Outfest, Changing the Game offers insight into the unseen challenges the athletes – a skier, wrestler, and track-and-field star – face in their respective fields.
