Guillermo del Toro is one of the most distinctive voices in modern cinema. Having achieved critical acclaim and commercial success in equal measure, the highly decorated Mexican director is the BFI’s newest Fellow. A strong association with gothic, horror and fantasy, alongside an abiding passion for cinema history and commitment to animation, are hallmarks of his filmography. At this richly illustrated event, he will talk about his incredible career.

Tickets £28, concessions £23 (Members pay £2.50 less). On sale Tuesday 7 April from 11:00 to BFI Patrons. BFI Members enter a ballot to apply for tickets.
