Join local film enthusiast and historian Mark Fuller for the first of two walks that between them take in the landmarks and personalities of cinema in central Bristol from the 1880s to the present day.
Ideal for a little exercise (all walks are flat or downhill from their starting points) before settling down for the cinematic wonders of the rest of Cinema Rediscovered.
This walk starts opposite Everyman Bristol (aka the former Whiteladies Picture House) at 09:00, near Clifton Down Shopping Centre (Buses 1, 2 and 4 from the Centre), and finishes near The Galleries at approximately 10:30.
Weather permitting, there will be visual aids with archive photographs and clips to help illustrate the talks at each stop.
This event is part of Cinema Rediscovered and Future City Film Festival. Future City Film Festival normally takes place biennially in the autumn but had to be postponed last year due to the pandemic. It will now run through 2022 as a series of special events with the support of the British Film Institute, awarding funds from National Lottery.
