Guillermo del Toro Season

From Hellboy to Pan’s Labyrinth to Frankenstein, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is an undisputed master of gothic fantasy and one of the most successful directors in the business. Next month, the BFI will be honouring his extraordinary career with a BFI Fellowship, the highest accolade that it hands out. And, to accompany the award, it’s putting on a month-long season dedicated to his filmography. Del Toro himself will pop-up in person at different points throughout the season. He’ll show up to introduce screenings of Cronos, his debut feature (May 8), The Shape of Water (May 9), Frankenstein (May 10); will take part in four separate Q&A sessions, including one following a screening of Pan’s Labyrinth and sit down for a headline In Conversation event (May 8). Other screenings will include Mimic + Mimic (Director’s Cut), The Devil’s Backbone and Blade II.
