Founded 80 years ago, the BFI will introduce its BFI Player on October 9 to a rapidly growing video-on-demand market worth some 243 million pounds in Britain in 2012. The initial version will be rolled out for computers and tablet devices and organized into seven different "Collections" for navigation: "London Film Festival Presents", "Backed by the BFI", "Edwardian Britain", "Gothic", "Cult cinema", "Inside Film" and a selection from industry magazine Sight and Sound. One of the offerings will be special events that will see British and world premieres available on the BFI Player on the day they open in the cinemas. The first two will be Clio Barnard's film version of Oscar Wilde's "The Selfish Giant" on October 25 and the BFI restoration of "The Epic of Everest" - about an ill-starred 1924 British attempt to climb the world's highest mountain - on October 18.
