Bristol Photo Festival
Sun 6 - Sun 27 Oct
We've partnered with Bristol Photo Festival to screen four films connected to the themes of the festival's 2024 programme The World a Wave, which screen on Sundays at 14:00 throughout October.
The season includes portraits of photographers Tish Murtha and Libuše Jarcovjáková, alongside an investigative doc peeling back the curtain to reveal the real costs and complicities of the multi-billion dollar international arms trade entitled Shadow World.
To link up with their exhibition by Greenland indigenous photographer Inuteeq Storch (taking place at Centrespace), we're also showing Twice Colonized, a documentary following an Inuit lawyer who embarks on a mission to hold Denmark and Canada accountable for their colonial past.
