“This is one of my favourite things about Bristol. It’s incredible how with ingenuity and shear passion these guys have kept going for well over 20 years! Keep 20th Century flicks alive - there are few other ways to access so many great / old / international / art house / under appreciated films alive and seen! If you’ve not discovered this place you need to do so now.”
