Oscar hopefuls La La Land, The Birth of a Nation and Snowden are among the films to be screened during the 60th BFI London film festival.
The festival will open with A United Kingdom, British director Amma Asante’s film about the real-life love story between the King of Bechuanaland (now Botswana) and a London office worker in 1948, starring David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike.
The BFI has also announced Black Star, a season of film, TV and special events celebrating the achievements of black actors.
Parker plays Turner, as well as serving as director, writer and producer, and the film has already generated Oscar buzz after a world premiere at the Sundance film festival in January.
