Millennium Square's Big Screen Bristol is being replaced

A new screen is being installed by We The Curious at Bristol's Millennium Square.

It will replace the previous screen, known as Big Screen Bristol, and will show the Olympics and a series of free films next year.

It will be unveiled at the end of July.

We Are Curious say it will have higher definition and better sound quality than the previous screen.

It was once owned by Bristol City Council and was handed over to We The Curious in 2016 and is now an integral part of the charity’s programming and events, attracting thousands of people each year.

In its prime position on Millennium Square, the screen is an important resource for the local community to showcase film, video, art, interactivity and events.

Natalie Moore, of Bristol UNESCO City of Film, said: "It's fantastic news for Bristol that the public will be able to enjoy an even better visual and audio experience on a new and improved screen.

"As well as special event screenings, the Big Screen, provides a valuable platform for locally made filmmakers, animators and documentary makers.’’

Alexis Hobson, Big Screen producer said: ‘‘We have worked together with Toshiba over the past year and are so excited to be able to offer the public a new screen, enabling us to bring more free events, higher quality film screenings and a better community resource to We The Curious and the city.’’
