BEAM Live combines music and street art in a UK first at Watershed
Celebrate two of Bristol’s biggest exports – street art and music – at a brand new experimental music and art night on Thu 29 March. Three of Bristol’s internationally acclaimed talents – DJs Scott Hendy and Cheeba and street artist Inkie – will combine forces to create a truly unique Bristol take on the classic song Windmills of Your Mind.
Julius Caesar, Angelina Jolie and Me
Our Head of Programme Mark Cosgrove looks back at his experience of this year's Berlin Film Festival. Here are just a few of the highlights and observations gleaned from one of the world's most expansive, and important, film festivals.
The Artist: Our Most Successful Film Ever!
Over 13,000 of you have been to see it here at Watershed, making Michel Hazanavicius' multiple award-winner our most successful film ever (we're thirty years young in June with some 7500 films under our belt, so it's certainly no mean feat). Why has it been so popular?
Bristol is a 'Playable City'
We are delighted that the British Council and Watershed are bringing together ten leading artists from across East Asia and the UK for a five-day sprint at Bristol’s Pervasive Media Studio around the theme of the playable city.
Could you be a Watershed Future Producer?
Future Producers is a unique opportunity for a group of 18 – 25 year olds to get a foot in the door in the creative industry at one of the UK’s leading cultural venues. What does a producer do? They make work happen - commissioning, managing, overseeing and realising projects and ideas.
Back to Berlin
It’s that time of year again – our programme team has braved the bitter Berlin cold (minus 16!) to head on out to the 62nd Berlin Film Festival in search of films, partnerships and creative ideas they can bring back to Bristol, to Watershed, and to you.
English Lager comes to Watershed - at last!
A decent English lager at Watershed? Really? Come and try for yourself... Our Exec Chef Oliver Pratt is always on the look out for locally sourced products and his latest addition to Watershed’s Plot to Plate family can be found behind the bar from this week. The tasty new brews come from the independent Cotswold Brewery.
The Night of The Hunter
This Saturday (11 Feb) at 13:00 we'll be screening The Night Of The Hunter, one of cinema's bonafide masterworks. Introducing the film on the day will be film historian and Tweeter par excellence @iambags (otherwise known as Jonathan Bygraves), who has written a piece about the film's enduring relevance.
