BFI Player's October slate pairs Primavera with The Shrouds and archival cinema

The UK service adds Primavera and several Black History Month titles on October 1, with David Cronenberg's The Shrouds arriving later as a subscription exclusive.

BFI Player's October schedule begins on October 1 with a mix of new-to-service films and Black History Month selections. Among the month's subscription exclusives are Primavera , Damiano Michieletto's drama inspired by composer Antonio Vivaldi, and David Cronenberg's The Shrouds , which joins the service on October 26.

The opening-day line-up also includes Charles Burnett's 1994 drama The Glass Shield , Isaac Julien and Mark Nash's experimental documentary Frantz Fanon: Black Skin White Mask , and Molly Dineen's Being Blacker . The BFI says The Glass Shield follows a Black rookie police officer trying to adapt to the force, while

Julien and Nash's film explores the psychiatrist and revolutionary's ideas and legacy. October later brings Dario Argento titles, including The Stendhal Syndrome and Opera . This is a UK streaming selection, not a theatrical release slate. Availability follows the BFI Player catalogue and subscription terms, and titles

have different arrival dates across the month. The service's October line-up provides the complete schedule and film descriptions. Headline image: BFI / The Shrouds (2024). Official or creator promotional artwork.
