Mayhem Film Festival is proud to announce the first three films of its 22nd edition which will take place at Broadway, Nottingham on 15-18 October 2026.

First up is Caleb Phillips’ lo-fi horror/sci-fi IMPOSTERS. After a couple’s baby boy is taken, a desperate mother learns of a way to bring him back, but her husband soon suspects who she returned with isn’t quite their son. Taking the audience in unexpected directions, IMPOSTERS is an incredibly smart thriller that pokes at the cracks in a seemingly perfect family picture and led by two fantastic central performances.

Next up is body-horror comedy MUM, I'M ALIEN PREGNANT, from New Zealand duo Thunderlips. When a messy millennial underachiever accidentally gets alien-pregnant, she must overcome sceptical doctors, a useless baby-daddy, and her oversharing mum in order to survive and reclaim her life. Under all the goo (and there is plenty) and the dry New Zealand humour, Thunderlips have crafted a heartfelt commentary on pregnancy, choice and parenthood.

To round-up this first wave of announcements, Mayhem will be presenting a screening of Guy Maddin’s 1992 CAREFUL. In this stunning melodrama, the residents of a 19th century Alpine village must speak softly and remain quiet to avoid being swallowed up by an avalanche. But desires, repression and human nature cannot always be tamed. Mayhem is excited to present a brand new 4K restoration of one of Guy Maddin’s early masterpieces.

Early Bird Passes for the festival are now on sale through Broadway’s website, until Monday 10 August only. For £95, Early Bird Passes give you access to all films and events for the four days of the festival.

More information and announcements about Mayhem’s 22nd edition will follow later in the summer.
