Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

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.

Forbidden Worlds 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.

All films selected for the festival line-up were made pre-2000 and were often just available to rent on VHS or were a staple of childhood movie marathons… however at Forbidden Worlds Film Festival, you can watch them on the former Bristol IMAX’s massive 18m x 15m screen!
