Director Steve McQueen, left, the winner of the BFI Fellowship Award, poses for photographers with presenter Michael Fassbender, in the press room at the London Film Festival Awards, held at Banqueting House in London, Saturday Oct. 15, 2016. The festival wraps up Sunday with “Free Fire,” a 1970s-set comic thriller by British director Ben Wheatley. McQueen, a filmmaker and Turner Prize-winning video artist, was presented with the British Film Institute Fellowship — the organization’s highest honor — by Michael Fassbender. “It seems that freedom is being slowly eroded,” McQueen said. The 12-day festival screened some 250 documentary and fiction features across London.
