Forbidden Worlds Film Festival at Bristol IMAX

Bristol Former IMAX, Bristol, BS1 5TT
Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

About

Forbidden Worlds Film Festival is dedicated to screening repertory fantasy, action, science-fiction and horror films from around the world and celebrating the people that made them.


The film festival was created by a group of Bristol-based cinephiles in order to create a film festival dedicated to their mutual love of classic and obscure genre films and a desire to screen many of these films on the big screen. The festival takes place at the Bristol Former IMAX in Bristol Aquarium, the biggest screen in the South West!
