FREE outdoor cinema entertainment under the stars

Encounters International Film Festival in partnership with the Neighbourhood Arts Team at Bristol City Council will present a series of four free outdoor solar powered film screenings in local parks within Bristol, during September 2010.

Encounters, Bristol’s annual festival of short films and all things animated, will be presenting a unique opportunity to see the Children’s Jury Animations and short films specifically selected from over 1600 submissions to suit family and younger. Now in its 16th year the festival is working with the Neighbourhood Arts Team in a bid to take the festival out to local communities and provide a taste of what the festival brings to Bristol to a wider audience.

You are invited to bring a picnic, something to sit on, a blanket, friends and family and wrap up warm for a night of entertainment under the stars. If the weather is wet there are indoor alternatives, and the films will start after dark.
