Calling UK-based film curators! Park Circus is teaming up once again with Cinema Rediscovered to invite you to pitch a 4-5 repertory film season, curated from their catalogue, for 2027.

Three proposals will be selected by Park Circus and Cinema Rediscovered teams, with successful applicants notified by Mon 22 June 2026 and invited to present their idea to a panel of exhibition industry professionals at Cinema Rediscovered at Watershed in Bristol on Thu 23 July 2026.

Subject to rights clearances, the winners’ season will become a collection in the Park Circus catalogue with an article on the website and a page in their quarterly Booking guide for Programmers with full credit mentions (plus their own hard copy).

The winner will also receive promotional support via Cinema Rediscovered channels, plus a pass an a travel bursary of up to £500 to attend next year’s edition of the festival.
