Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

About Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

Forbidden Worlds Film Festival is Bristol's home for cult, science fiction and horror cinema, screening wild and wonderful films from around the world on the giant Bristol Megascreen and celebrating the people who made them. It is a festival for genre lovers, mixing rediscovered classics and restorations with new discoveries, all shown the way they were meant to be seen, loud and larger than life.

Its headline autumn event is The Big Scream, a weekend of blood-soaked, boundary-pushing horror that turns the Megascreen into a temple of terror just in time for Halloween. From silent-era chillers to modern cult shockers, each edition takes a fresh theme, so whether you are a seasoned horror fan or simply up for something gloriously different, Forbidden Worlds delivers one of the most distinctive film experiences in the city.
