Gothic

In 2013 we’ll surprise, shock and terrify audiences with our new nationwide project.

This spell-binding blockbuster season will delve into the subconscious and latent desires that dwell in us all with some of the finest in monstrous chillers, ghoulish adventures and romantic horror.

Alongside a major four month BFI Southbank season, restorations from the BFI National Archive, DVD releases and a BFI book, the BFI will bring Gothic to the whole UK, including a special screening event at Derry-Londonderry, the 2013 City of Culture.

Special events will take place in historic venues nationwide during the summer, with outdoor screenings and weekenders of chilling titles. As the nights draw in and the chill of autumn approaches, a four-month overview of films from the big and small screen will take audiences to the heart of darkness at BFI Southbank and wherever other cinemas dare to go.
