Darkness in the Fields Film Festival brings folk horror to the Midlands

Derby’s thriving independent cinema Derby QUAD presents a day of folk horror screenings, interviews and more on the 23^rd March 2024 for the Darkness in the Fields Film Festival.

Folk horror stalks back onto our screens as the festival hosts a series of classic screenings, underrated gems and modern offerings in the genre, along with interviews, short films, a sales area and much more.

The event starts at midday on Saturday 23^rd March with a short film showcase featuring BecoME, Blackthorn, Blight and the Wyrm of Bwlch Pen Barras.

Later in the day at 3:45pm The Borderlands sees a team of Vatican investigators descend upon a church in a remote area to demystify the unusual happenings, “but what they discover is more disturbing than they had first imagined”.

To Fire You Come At Last screens at 6:00pm and includes an in-person questions & answers session with the film’s director Sean Hogan.

And at the end of a full day of folk, The Moor gets a showing at 8:00pm with another in-person Q&A, this time with director Chris Cronin.

Day tickets (allowing access to all events) are available now, priced at £30 (standard) & £25 (concessions). or you can purchase individual screenings for each of the film events.
