Bristol’s week in film: September 11-17 2020

Air guitars at the ready: the most excellent, if now middle-aged, Bill and Ted return with belated threequel Bill & Ted Face the Music, which opens on Wednesday.

Al fresco choices this week include the big @TheDriveIn weekend in a Bristol Airport car park and, perhaps more palatably, the first of four outdoor screenings organised as a collaboration between the hibernating Cube cinema and Grow Wilder – natural farming documentary Final Straw: Food, Earth, Happiness.

Down at the Watershed, they’ve got the 25th anniversary restored version of La Haine from Thursday. Depressingly, Mathieu Kassovitz’s striking Paris riots drama seems just as relevant today as it did back in the ’90s. On a similar theme, Rock Against Racism doc White Riot hits the multiplexes on Tuesday.
