“
No one crafts characters, worlds, and stories quite like Wes Anderson.”
DOORS: 16:30 | FILM STARTS: 16:45
Our rescheduled Wes Anderson mini-fest is now taking place on Sunday 1st May, also marking our inaugural event with the brilliant Bristol Improv Theatre!
There are few directors more famous for their stylistic touch than Wes Anderson, so we are dedicating an entire day to a selection of his filmography. The day continues with Anderson’s Oscar-winning comedy-drama - and cult favourite! - The Grand Budapest Hotel.

About The Film
2014 | 15 | 100 mins
In the 1930s, the Grand Budapest Hotel is a popular European ski resort, presided over by concierge Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes). Zero, a junior lobby boy, becomes Gustave's friend and protege. Gustave prides himself on providing first-class service to the hotel's guests, including satisfying the sexual needs of the many elderly women who stay there. When one of Gustave's lovers dies mysteriously, Gustave finds himself the recipient of a priceless painting and the chief suspect in her murder.
About The Location
The Bristol Improv Theatre is the UK’s first full-time dedicated improv theatre, hosting troupes from all over the UK and overseas, bringing world-class improv to Bristol. Through crowdfunding and the efforts of over 40 volunteers, the founders transformed this former-Victorian-schoolhouse-turned-working-mens-club-cum-live-music-venue into a purpose-built theatre space, with licensed bar, rehearsal rooms and office.
Bristol Improv Theatre is our new home for screenings of classic musical films, as well as our “mini-fests” paying homage to great directors and actors.
