Cally Callomon: Race
Cyclescreen, Bristol’s first dedicated bike film festival, is a season of inspiring cycling films, documentaries, lectures and interactive events celebrating cycling culture in its varied forms. The bike holds a special place in the hearts of Bristol’s ever-growing cycling community and to celebrate the many pleasures to be found on two wheels Watershed is hosting a season of fun, inspiring cycling films, talks and events for riders and non-riders alike.
All this and a pedal powered cinema!
Go to the Cyclescreen site for more details.

The Short Cuts programme is working with up to 45 young people (aged 14-18) across Bristol to help them to develop, plan, produce, edit and showcase a short film. Partnering with Watershed to deliver the programme are Knowle West Media Centre, Young Bristol, Connexions West and Encounters International Short Film Festival.
As funding from First Light has come through “Film Nation” – a project run by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games – the project will produce three short films (< 5mins) that explore the Olympic themes of “friendship”, “respect”, and “excellence”.
