LONDON (AP) --
Historical drama "Suffragette," starring Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep as votes-for-women campaigners, will open this year's London Film Festival.
Organizers say the film's European premiere will kick off the 59th annual festival Oct. 7.
Helena Bonham Carter also appears in the drama about the campaigners who risked life and liberty to fight for women's suffrage a century ago. It's directed by Sarah Gavron ("Brick Lane") and written by Abi Morgan ("The Iron Lady.")
It is the first commercial feature which has been allowed to film inside London's Houses of Parliament.
Festival director Clare Stewart said Wednesday "Suffragette" was "an urgent and compelling film — made by British women, about British women who changed the course of history."
The full program for the Oct 7-18 festival will be announced in September.

Officers arrested a 20-year-old man suspected of throwing a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's San Francisco home on Friday and then making threats at the company's headquarters, police and the company said.
Officers went to the home shortly after 4 a.m. because someone had thrown an incendiary device, setting an exterior gate alight before fleeing on foot, police said.
Less than an hour later, authorities were called to a business elsewhere in the city where a man had reportedly threatened to burn down the building. Officers recognized the man as the same suspect and detained him, the police department posted on social media.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, released a statement confirming that the home belongs to Altman and that the threats were made at its headquarters. No one was hurt, the company said, and OpenAI is assisting in the investigation.
Authorities haven't charged or released details about the man they arrested, including his name or a possible motive.
"We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe," OpenAI wrote in a statement.
Altman, the co-founder and CEO, has become a preeminent voice in Silicon Valley on the promise and potential dangers of artificial intelligence. He was fired by OpenAI in 2023 after a review found he was "not consistently candid in his communications" with the board of directors, but he was rehired just days later. He returned as CEO under a different board of directors.
Altman is a controversial figure, and the attack comes days after the New Yorker published an in-depth investigation that touched on concerns some people have about him and the company.
