Things that are gonna stick in my mind from @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social: Watching a documentary about a community cinema with that community in that cinema The Whale God Eating pizza with Gale Anne Hurd Being told the Llandoger Trow is on wheels by Young Sherlock The way Judith Vittet says “voila”

Last night, we surprised our audience with 'queer killer mermaid' film - SHE CREATURE (2001). However director Sebastian Guiterrez was even more surprised to learn that we were screening it - making it the first time it's possibly ever been shown on the big screen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxKP...

Thank you to brilliant Forbidden Worlds Film Festival team, the wonderful interviewers and the fantastic audiences! What an absolute blast to spend time with all of you enjoying movies on the Bristol Megascreen. It's truly my idea of the perfect weekend!!

Last night we screened a straight-to-video banger on our Saturday night prime time slot and I’m not sorry The Shape of Slaughter ftw 😄 🧜‍♀️

Really enjoyed watching the Ulysses Cut of Waterworld (or as it is now to be known Moist Max) writ large on the imax screen. So much to say about what’s wrong with this movie but a joy to watch all 3 hours of it with an audience. Hats off to Centre Seat Front Row who stayed til the last credit 👏

The Day The Clown Cried | Jerry Lewis’ shelved film said to have been found on VHS filmstories.co.uk/news/the-day...
