Info

The film night group is a sub-group of the Bristol Indymedia collective. The film night group run fairly autonomously from the main Bristol Indymedia group. We get together by mutual arrangement to plan the film nights out for several months at a time. We often work with groups by offering them a space to tell their story.

Possible Formats for submissions

The cube has a DVD and VHS player and the group have access to a laptop that can plug into the Cube's setup. All films need to be tested on the planned screening device before the event.
