About the Event
Before he went on to Hollywood fame, film director John Boorman (Deliverance, Excalibur, Point Blank) worked at BBC Bristol where he made many films about the city.
Last year South West Silents showed his six-part series about Bristol, The Newcomers, to a sold out audience. We continue our celebrations of his Bristol work by screening five documentaries and one fictional film.
Almost all are set in Bristol and the West of England. None of these titles have been seen for decades, and this is a very rare chance to see them for a long time to come. And we are showing them on Bristol's biggest screen.
The event will be showing:
The Globe Shrinkers about early work on supersonic flight/ Concorde at Filton (transmitted 3 April 1963).
Let’s Imagine: Being an art student about the West of England Art College (21 June 1963).
