AGENDA BSC EXPO PREVIEW
Battersea Park sets the stage for the BSC Expo, heralding the start of the UK’s 2024 filmmaking showcase season DESTINATION LONDON
T he sentiment ‘tired of London, tired of life’ penned by Samuel Johnson (sort of) nearly 250 years ago still rings true today. For filmmakers, the allure of Britain’s flagship show for cinematography and TV production, the BSC Expo, remains irresistible. Hosted at Evolution London, a purpose-built event venue nestled in Battersea Park along the banks of the River Thames, this event promises an enriching experience for students, newcomers and seasoned industry professionals alike. Scheduled for 16-17 February, the expo offers attendees the opportunity to learn from cinematographers and broadcast executives through a diverse array of seminars, workshops and networking events. But for many, the main attraction lies in exploring the latest equipment and getting hands-on with it. From cameras and lenses to lighting, rigs, software and everything else needed for your next blockbuster, the best of the best is on show at the BSC Expo.
