In Dreams Are Monsters Tour

Discover the spirit of our times, told through tales of the monstrous from across film history

This year’s BFI blockbuster season is In Dreams Are Monsters – charting how the monsters of horror have evolved, made physical the anxieties of their times, and how we react when faced with the monster within.

Alongside a major season at BFI Southbank, UK-wide BFI releases, one-off special events and more, from October 2022 to December 2022 we will be running a nationwide tour as part of BFI In Dreams Are Monsters.

Our menu of films offers you some startling and provocative examples of the archetypical monsters of the genre explored in the BFI season, exploring how horror has been a powerful way to explore radical ideas throughout the history of film.

All films have been secured at special terms and without print transport fees, making it easier than ever to bring these films to existing and new audiences.

Tour dates: 1 October 2022–31 December 2022

Bookings for this tour will close on Friday 1 December. To book, please email Duncan Carson at bookings@independentcinemaoffice.org.uk

Funding support for special curated events, enhanced screenings and season costs is also available through Film Hub Midlands, the cross-FAN lead for BFI Major Programmes. Read more about Major Programmes support here.

BFI In Dreams Are Monsters is led by BFI, the Independent Cinema Office and Film Hub Midlands on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network, supported by funds from the National Lottery. ICO’s tour of In Dreams Are Monsters is funded by Film Hub Midlands.
