A Wall is a Screen : Secrets of the Old City

June is here – and so are the first two events kicking off Bristol's Summer Film Takeover, a series of free screen experiences taking place across the city centre until September, presented by Bristol UNESCO City of Film and partners!

Bristol’s Summer Film Takeover invites the public to venture out and explore the city through a different lens, via nine free film events that celebrate unique aspects of Bristol’s culture and identity through different screen experiences.

Encounters invites you to a film night like no other on Saturday 16 September! A Wall is a Screen: Secrets of the Old City is the second of two guided evening walking tours in the programme, that will explore hidden architectural gems of Bristol’s Old City streets whilst featuring a curated selection of short films projected onto nearby buildings to watch along the way.

The event is delivered in partnership with Hamburg-based collective A Wall is a Screen which has been transforming walls around the world into screens for 20 years. The tour will begin  at the top of Corn Street 20:00 on Saturday 16th September and will last approximately 1 hour. The event is free and open to all, however we advise booking a ticket to secure your place on the tour.

Encounters Festival’s outgoing CEO Rich Warren says:

"We have wanted to bring over our friends, A Wall is a Screen, from Hamburg for well over 10 years to share their vision of cinematic social engagement to Bristol's vibrant film scene. Bristol’s Summer Film Takeover is the perfect opportunity to do so. Don’t miss out - this will be an event to remember!"

Bristol’s Summer Film Takeover is being delivered as one of the activities under the City Centre and High Streets Recovery and Renewal programme, funded by Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority’s Love our High Streets project
