When one of his schemes falls foul of Emperor Nero (Roberts) Atti is forced to join the army and sent to miserable, cold, wet Britain. Things go from bad to worse when Atti is captured by Orla (Jones), a feisty teenage Celt desperate to prove herself as a warrior. Meanwhile a furious Nero is determined to crush the British rebellion, led by Boudicca (Nash). As the Romans prepare for an historic showdown with the Celts at the Battle of Watling Street the two new friends find themselves lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Friday 12<sup>th<\/sup> July, &#8216;Masters of Love&#8217; will celebrate its London Premiere at the festival followed by a Q&amp;A with Director Matt Roberts and the cast. Starring Sarah Ovens, Owen Roberts, Eleanor Fanyinka, Bekka Bowling and Lizzy Watts, the film follows wannabe food critic Josh who is dumped by Izzy; his photographer sister Emmy who gets cold feet about marrying Samantha and their stand-up comic friend Niall who is casually seeing sous-chef Lily. Writer-director Matt Roberts&#8217;s first feature charts the romantic breakthroughs and break-ups of a close-knit London crew, his sharp insights and humour masterfully realised by a winning cast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also celebrating its London Premiere will be &#8216;Romantic Comedy&#8217; followed by a Q&amp;A with Director Elizabeth Sankey. With Jessica Barden, Cameron Cook\u00a0 Anne T. Donahue, Brodie Lancaster, Charlie Lyne, Eleanor McDowall , Simran Hans and Laura Snapes, this warm and witty essay film features genre experts and fans who celebrate and critique the rom-com from screwball classics to &#8216;When Harry Met Sally&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Metal Heart&#8217;, presented in association with Irish Film London, will also premiere at the festival followed by a Q&amp;A with Director Hugh O\u2019Conor. Starring Jordanne Jones, Leah McNamara, Moe Dunford, Se\u00e1n Doyle and Aaron Heffernan, this is a charming coming-of-age comedy, challenging and celebrating the bonds of sisterhood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Shorts Programmes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LOCO 2019 will also present a selection of the best new comedy shorts across four programmes: \u2018Awkward Encounters\u2019, \u2018Something Funny Going On\u2019, \u2018Take Control\u2019 and \u2018Intimate Details\u2019, with the award-winners announced on the closing day &#8211; Sunday 14<sup>th<\/sup> July.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Masterclasses And Training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Returning for 2019 the festival is delighted to present a public masterclass in association with our new revamped industry training programmes. In 2017 we had the incomparable talent of Alice Lowe share her experiences and wisdom of working in comedy filmmaking. This year festival goers will get the chance to hear from the best in comedy filmmaking talent followed by a chance to ask your own questions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LOCO 2019 will see an unprecedented week of training for those who have or wish to have a career in Comedy Film or TV. With targeted sessions and networking events for writers, directors and producers, this year&#8217;s programme will be divided into two sections: one catering to those new to the industry and the other targeting emerging professionals, ensuring that everyone receives training that is best suited to their level. Following research among previous attendees and followers, we also have more ways to engage than ever, with full day passes or individual sessions of Masterclasses, Panels, One-to-One Surgeries and even a Speed-dating Brunch. Previous alumni have gone on to pen award-winning comedy features, direct for the likes of Netflix and Channel 4 and produce some of the most original and exciting work on the UK Comedy scene.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Denise Hicks, Director of The LOCO London Comedy Film Festival says,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are so excited to be back, partnering with BFI Southbank for our 7th London Comedy Film Festival. This year we are celebrating the Love of Comedy and the Comedy of Love because we know that above all, comedy can bring people together. Our Love of Comedy kicks off with the much-awaited World Premiere of HORRIBLE HISTORIES, THE MOVIE opening LOCO 2019, and for the first time we\u2019ll be pairing this with a Family Premiere of the film, with themed activities, in partnership with BFI\u2019s Family Funday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our love-in continues with four fantastic short film programmes, more awards than ever for new talent, and our biggest programme of comedy film and TV training to date. We are also going big on the Comedy of Love, with an entire day dedicated to romantic comedy, including the UK Premiere of Elizabeth Sankey\u2019s documentary ROMANTIC COMEDY. The future looks bright for British comedy film and TV creators and we\u2019re excited to create a place for the next generation to come together, share the love and spawn some comedy brilliance.\u201d<b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The LOCO LONDON COMEDY FILM FESTIVAL 2019 is at BFI Southbank 11-14 July 2019 <a
