The Fall is the first film of our two feature film selections, it is a cult classic and a fantasy epic unlike any other. It boasts a visual style integral to its identity which highlights the wonderful imagination of the main character, Alexandria. The film navigates intense emotion portrayed through the lens of an impossible fantasy cast of five mythical heroes. The plot sprawls through many location sets and guides the audience through love, comradery, heartbreak and more.
It is a must see for anyone inspired by meaningful striking imagery and passion for film as an art form and storytelling tool.
Down the Rabbit Hole Double Bill | Tuesday 18 August
Our BFI Young Programmers have paired The Fall with Donkey Skin as part of Double Take Festival 2026.
Down the Rabbit Hole is an exploration of fantastical, surrealist, and childlike tales told through film.
"Our double bill aims to bring generations of young and old together through visually striking and imaginative other worldly scenarios that everyone can identify with and enjoy. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, our title perfectly sums up what you can expect from the titles we are showing."
15.00 - Donkey Skin (PG)
18.00 - The Fall (15)
