Re:sound is a documentary project that explores what shapes the musical sounds we hear in Bristol today. It’s the story of how sounds have developed and evolved in the city. Beginning with The Pop Group’s first album from the post-punk era of the late 70s, the film tracks subsequent movements in sound system culture, jazz, hip hop, trip hop and drum and bass and discovers how these sounds are manifested in the rich musical landscape of Bristol today.

Hear from some of the most innovative musicians to have come out of the city, including Massive Attack's Neil Davidge, The Pop Group's Mark Stewart, Roni Size, Andy Sheppard, Portishead's Clive Deamer, Maximum Joy's Janine Rainforth and many more, discover where their sounds originated and what legacy they've left behind. We discover the attitudes, geographies and cultures of a city that have together helped form a fascinating narrative that spans over 35 years of musical history.

With an introduction from The Pop Group’s Mark Stewart.

Join resident DJ Scott Hendy (Malachai/Boca 45) in the Café/Bar after the film (until midnight) for a specially curated Bristol Sounds night with guest DJs from Billy Fuller (BEAK>) and audio visual pioneer DJ Cheeba (Solid Steel/Ninja Tunes). The Fringe DJ events at Watershed are free so drop by for the best of Bristol with music and visuals!
