The Big Thrill at BFI Southbank

In this era of fake news, catfishing and mass surveillance, it's no wonder the thriller is the becoming the defining genre of our times. During the Big Thrill Day, you can hear talks on topics such as 'anxious films for anxious times' and 'Trust No One: Conspiracy and Paranoia in the Age of Fake News', plus panel events including one on how the youth are reinventing TV Thriller to suit millennial tastes. And it wouldn't be 2017 without the presence of an immersive, VR experience. Enter the All Day Doom Room, which is part installation, part performance and part freak-out zone.
