Cinema Rediscovered
About
Cinema Rediscovered is the UK's leading celebration of newly restored films, forgotten gems and classic revivals, taking place across a cluster of independent cinemas in Bristol. Presented by Watershed, the festival brings together screenings, special guests, projection tours, cinema walks, workshops and archive exhibitions across five days — making the case for the big screen as the definitive place to experience film.
The programme is curated into themed strands, from new restorations and rediscoveries to deep dives into alternative film history, with UK premieres, film-on-film rarities and conversations with filmmakers, programmers, archivists and projectionists woven throughout. Venues include Watershed, The Cube Microplex, 20th Century Flicks and Clevedon's Curzon Cinema, spreading the festival across Bristol UNESCO City of Film and beyond.
