The Watershed is a hot spot for the creative types in Bristol. Located in a beautiful Grade II listed building in Harbourside, this cinema is an endearing place to visit on a rainy Bristolian evening. “But you’re not the arty type!” I hear you scream, well the Watershed is also the perfect place for a languages student. I had my first introduction to this inspired place while on a Hispanic Society trip to see the Chilean masterpiece, ‘No’. Although I enjoyed the film, I walked away thinking about the venue.
The atmosphere couldn’t be more
different to Cabot’s Cinema De Luxe with their overpriced popcorn and teenagers
on dates. The Watershed radiates intelligence and creative thought as you come
out of your film to hear people discussing the artistic camera angles rather
than the attractiveness of the male lead. With 3 cinemas showing those quirky
films you promised yourself that you would try, a charming café that promotes
locally sourced food and an online catalogue of short films on almost any
media-related topic, there’s nothing not to love.
