“Set to join the pantheon of beloved Brit-coms like ‘Four Weddings’ and ‘Bridget Jones’’s Diary’ - if there’s any justice - this is a true winner, and the smartest comedy you will see this year”

Join Bristol Film Festival at Clifton Summer Screenings!

Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - this is an outdoor experience that’s not to be missed.

screen2 hosts another film with a major local link on Sunday lunchtime: it’s the acclaimed comedy-drama adaptation of David Nicholls’ University Challenge-themed novel Starter For Ten. James McAvoy leads a cast that includes Mark Gatiss, Charles Dance, Catherine Tate and Benedict Cumberbatch - but they’re not all you’ll recognise! Set at Bristol University and partially filmed in the city, it’s a rare example of Bristol on film appearing as itself.
