London Film Festival Taps Sam Pollard for Competition Jury; Neon Announces Open-Source SCP Film

The London Film Festival has announced that acclaimed American filmmaker Sam Pollard will head the jury for its Official Competition. Pollard, known for his documentaries such as "Eyes on the Prize" and "Sammy Davis Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me," will lead the selection of award winners at the prestigious event.

In a separate development, Neon, a film production and distribution company, has announced plans to produce a fictional anthology feature based on the SCP Foundation universe. Notably, Neon intends to release this project under a Creative Commons license, positioning it as an "open-source" film. This move comes as a direct response to A24's earlier announcement of an SCP Foundation film, which faced criticism for not adhering to the SCP Foundation's open-source principles.
