Bristol’s week in film: September 20-26 2019

This week we’ve got Brad Pitt in space in Ad Astra, highly acclaimed Chinese-American drama The Farewell, powerful documentary Honeyland, and Elisabeth Moss as a mobster in The Kitchen.

If you feel the urge come over all al fresco in this unusually pleasant September weather, Luna Cinema brings three outdoor screenings to Ashton Court at the weekend. Elsewhere, the much-anticipated 25th annual Encounters short film festival launches on Tuesday and the Fleabag phenomenon continues with multiple hastily-added extra screenings of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s revived one-woman London stage show to keep up with demand.

Follow the links below for more details of all of these and more, including screening times. Go here for our comprehensive film listings.
