Start your elaborate costume plans . . . now!

New Year’s Eve surrealist bacchanalia awaits you . . . do come.

I feel a bit bad posting and re-positioning the Bluescreen bulletin below, so before I’ll start I’ll say don’t forget Bluescreen is on the 27th . . . it’s actually sandwiched between some other things I want to alert you to too . . .

Some Exciting things ahead . . .

. . . also to promote the big 5th Nov gig, I’ve instigated a project called “One Thousand Watts” where I’m asking people to do quick drawing of Reggie Watts, from memory or description, to decorate The Cube on The Night . . . Reggie doesn’t know, so it will be a surprise and a thank you for a big star playing a small space for a smaller than normal fee . . . please join in and draw – email me or link to a photo / scan if you are outside Bristol.

Good Luck.

Here’s some we prepared earlier . . .

Please join in if the muse grabs you!

BLUESCREEN PRESENTS…. SECOND LIGHT BRISTOL

Wed 28th/8.00pm /GBP 3/2

Bluescreen presents the first in an occasional series, focussing on filmmaking communities in Bristol. Tonight we welcome Second Light Bristol to the Cube. Second Light Bristol is one of three pilot schemes in the UK with the aim of training Black and Minority Ethnic young people for employment in the film and television industry, with the aim to address under-representation of such groups in the UK industry.

Tonight we showcase the D.I.Y. work of these aspiring filmmakers.

For the culturally-minded, you may muse on emergent aesthetics and seek out some semblance of a Black British voice emerging from these Bristol filmmakers. Or you could just come down and watch and support these young and talented filmmakers.

Plus The Cube Orchestra. And Bluescreen Hi-fi DJs in the bar all night
