Watershed.Cultural cinema, talent development and creative technology in Bristol

A few highlights

Film A Private Life - a woman checking files
Jodie Foster’s impeccable French and comedic skills are on full display in mystery thriller A Private Life.
Film A still from Effi O Blaenau of a young woman wearing a white puffer jacket in a grassy outdoor area with mountains and power lines in the background on a cloudy day. Based on Gary Owen’s much lauded and widely performed one‑woman play, Iphigenia in Splott, Effi o Blaenau is director Marc Evans’ cinematic interpretation set against the wide open landscapes of North Wales.
Immersive Exhibition An overhead projector casts a shadow of a cartoonish, concerned face with raised eyebrows on a wall, creating a humorous and whimsical tone. Four artists invite you to explore the near future through playful interactive works in progress.
