On Wednesday 17th October, guests and stars attended the BFI London Film Festival screening of Ben Affleck’s newest directorial venture; Argo. Having already gained massive critical acclaim for his latest film, Affleck, who is also the lead in the movie, made his way along with other cast members Bryan Cranston and John Goodman to The Sanderson Hotel in Soho to continue the celebrations after the screening at a bash sponsored by CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka.

Ben Affleck looked dapper in a black fitted suit and remained humble as he claimed that he was absolutely ‘honoured to have a film in the London Film Festival’ and he ‘dreamt about having a film premiere in London since he was child.’
Even with it’s comedic aspects, Argo, was a brilliant thriller focusing on the true story of a CIA infiltration agent in Iran, and reconfirms Ben Affleck’s position in Hollywood as a very capable director. Guests who attended the screening were clearly very impressed with the film, and had even cheered and clapped mid film.
