Steve Jobs is closing the BFI London Film Festival on Sunday 18th October.
The 59th B.F.I London Film Festival has announced that this year’s closing night film is Steve Jobs.
Working from Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography, Steve Jobs is directed by Academy-Award winner Danny Boyle. The film takes us behind the creation of the digital revolution to reveal the portrait of the man at it’s epicentre. Steve Jobs is played by Michael Fassbender over a period of 14 years (1984-1998) in which the story is built around three influential and landmark products – the Mackintosh, the NeXT ‘Cube’ and the iMac. The film creates a intertwining portrait of Job’s life to tell the story of the new mass-market technologies that have completely revolutionised how we now communicate with one another.

Clare Stewart, BFI London Film Festival Director, comments “We are thrilled to announce that Steve Jobs will be this year’s BFI London Film Festival Closing Night gala. Danny Boyle has created an exhilarating and audacious film starring Michael Fassbender as the complex, charismatic digital pioneer.”
The new Steve Jobs film is set to hit cinemas on 13th November.
