Bristol UNESCO City of Film
Cinema Rediscovered 2019
Please note : this season finished in July 2019
The fourth edition of Cinema Rediscovered celebrates Bristol's status as UNESCO City of Film, a global recognition of the city's outstanding contribution to film culture.
We continue our exploration of Bristol born screenwriter, film director, playwright and novelist Mike Hodges with screenings of two of his later films. Key locations for film in the city will also be brought to life as Dr Peter Walsh (South West Silents) takes visitors on an animated walking tour (on Fri 27 and Sat 28 July) around the town centre, revealing a rich history and plentiful hidden treasures among Bristol’s cine-streets and iconic locales. Also look out for a talk on Bristol's very own Victorian inventor William Friese-Greene, the first person to present a movie camera to the world.
