Check out the new Encounters trailer
The Encounters film festival has just released a snazzy new trailer featuring live-action and animated highlights from this year’s six-day fest interspersed with footage of Bristol graffiti artist Andy Council whacking the festival artwork on to a wall.
Encounters runs at the Watershed from September 15-20. Highlights include the Fun Lovin’ Criminals’ Huey Morgan talking about his favourite film soundtracks of all time; a Petite Perpetual Cinema showing children’s short films, curated by children themselves (free admission all day Sat from 10am); the local premiere of psychological horror Dartmoor Killing with a director Q&A; the debut of a new short by Bristol-based Roger Rabbit animator Richard Williams; ex-Python Terry Jones introducing his new feature documentary about the financial crisis, Boom Bust Boom; and an event with acclaimed Swiss Filmmaker Ursula Meir and her Bristol-based musical partner John Parish. All this plus hundreds of the very best short films, many screened in themed collections. Go here for our full preview. Our daily selections of highlights can be found in the film listings starting here.
