Cinema and Film Events in Bristol

Bristol has a stonking selection of cinemas and film events, which is part of the reason that the city was awarded status as UNESCO City of Film from 2017.

There are film festivals you can attend throughout the year, from classic film fest Slapstick Festival through to short film and animation extravaganza Encounters.

Bristol Film Festival also hosts a variety of weird and wonderful screenings at venues across the city, ranging from wine cellars to spooky caves - we even have films being shown in Bristol Cathedral!

If you're after something a bit more conventional, you can choose from Bristol's array of popular cinemas. Watershed is a cultural centre in the Harbourside which includes an independent cinema with a reputation for showing the very best films and hosting unmissable events.

The Cube Cinema and The Orpheus Cinema are two other independent cinemas in Bristol, boasting interesting programmes of film and events throughout the year.

Of course we also have a few multiplexes for you to watch the latest blockbusters. Showcase Cinema de Lux in Cabot Circus has its own luxury Directors Hall, while Odeon Cinema is also centrally located in Broadmead. Just outside of the city centre you'll find extra choice with Vue, Showcase and Cineworld.
