Bristol has been an UNESCO City Of Film since 2017, but Bristol and cinema have been entwined since – some would say before – the beginning of moving pictures. Join local enthusiast and historian Mark Fuller for the first of three gentle walks.
Thursday's walk is designed to be a short overview of Cinema in Bristol, past and present. Also look out for more in-depth walks being offered over the weekend.
You will travel from Everyman Bristol at Whiteladies Road down to College Green and into Broadmead and back to Watershed, looking at some of the places and personalities involved in the development of Cinema in Bristol and their influences both nationally and internationally.
Ideal for a little exercise (all walks are mostly flat or downhill from their starting points), and for what passes for fresh air in central Bristol, before settling down for the cinematic wonders of Cinema Rediscovered.
Walk 1 on Thursday will start opposite Everyman Bristol (formerly Whiteladies Picture House) at 09:00, near Clifton Down Shopping Centre (Buses 1, 2 and 4 from the Centre) and finish near The Galleries at around 10:30.
Weather allowing, there will be visual aids to help illustrate the talks at each stop.
