A Bristol cinema has been named among the best in the world by Time Out - here's what you need to know
A Bristol cinema has been recognised among the best in the world by Time Out.
A new study by Time Out has revealed the 100 best cinemas across the globe.
The ranking have been determined by Time Out’s local experts, and range from cult Tokyo cinemas and grand Parisian film temples to beloved Sydney picturehouses and LA film dream palaces, from a Berlin kino with its own nuclear bunker to a Canadian cinema with only 12 seats.
And one Bristol cinema has made the cut.
Watershed ranked 28th on the list.
The Bristol cinema was describe by Time Out as “Founded at a time when most of the Victorian warehouses around it were still derelict, this Bristol institution was the nation’s first true media centre when it opened in 1982.
“Fans like the late, great Pete Postlethwaite – the first to sponsor a seat in the three-screen venue, in 2004 – would later champion the ‘adventurous, cosmopolitan’ nature of the place.
“They’re values this cherished cultural hub still upholds today with its diverse programming and community focus.
“Their famous nachos, meanwhile, have their own cult following.”
