After 37 years as the Founder and Director of The American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival, Julie Sisk knows firsthand that film festivals can be transformative – and not just for filmmakers. This year, she launched Take2Film — a curated travel experience for cinema lovers and immersive travel enthusiasts alike.

There are other film festivals in London, one of the world’s greatest cities, but none like the BFI London Film Festival. Part of that is because of the festival’s operator. BFI, the 93-year-old British Film Institute, which has been staging the festival in London’s Southbank cultural hub for seven decades. This year, the festival will run from Oct. 7 to Oct. 18.

After nearly four decades at the helm of The American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival, Julie Sisk launches a new initiative that brings together cultural travel, privileged access, and international cinephilia.
