MONSTERS is a post-apocalyptic fairy tale created by and starring children from East Anglia. In this experimental documentary film, they imagine a world after monsters have arrived, exploring survival, change, and uncertainty.

A real story in an imaginary world. Or an imaginary story in the real world.

Windows rattle, the floor shakes, there are ripples in your water cup. A bright light in the distance. Then the monsters arrive. Swimming monsters! Flying monsters! Lasers! Fireballs!

All of this really happened, or could have happened. Or is actually happening.

Artists Andy Field and Beckie Darlington have collaborated with children at four primary schools, including Rushmere Hall Primary in Ipswich, to write and perform their own fragment of the larger story.

Blending fantasy and reality, and reinterpreting disaster tropes through the eyes of a generation familiar with crisis, MONSTERS gives us a chance to re-evaluate our relationship with the places we call home.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the artists and performers.
