We've got some amazing archival screenings lined up for Clifton Summer Screenings this year!
First up on Thursday 4th July, we're bringing you BRISTOL & FLIGHT ON FILM, a special screening showcasing Bristol’s incredible aviation history through archive footage.
On 7th July, get ready for BLITZ ON BRISTOL, a gripping 1980 documentary generously licensed by Bristol Archives. Packed with archive footage and eyewitness interviews, this film offers a moving account of Bristol's history during challenging times.
Both events offer an on-camera glimpse of Bristol in the last century, and are a great opportunity to see rare footage on the big screen!
