Bristol’s Week in Film: October 9-15 2020

If you’re looking for silver linings, try this: with the major distributors running scared and pulling their blockbusters from the release schedules, desperate multiplexes are giving a platform to smaller films that might otherwise be stuck in the arthouse ghetto. This week, for example, the big releases are two genre-subverting films from great female directors: Rose Glass’s psychological horror Saint Maud and Miranda July’s Kajillionaire.

We’re also getting a whole bunch of previews from the London Film Festival. Most of these are screening exclusively at the Watershed, though Shirley can also be seen at the Everyman. Be warned that these are all selling out very quickly, so you’d be advised to grab tickets while you can.
