About

Join Bristol Film Festival for a series of film screenings in special locations for Valentine's Day weekend!

The Shape of Water at The Mount Without, Thu 12 Feb

A dark and romantic tale of a forbidden relationship that was only the second fantasy film ever to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

Romeo + Juliet at Averys Wine Cellars, Thu 12 Feb

Baz Luhrmann’s contemporary take on Shakespeare’s most beloved play turns 30 this spring; Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes shine as the star-crossed lovers, in a high-octane adaptation that transfers the warring families to the Californian city of Verona Beach. Paired with an Italian and Californian wine tasting to complement the timeless tear-jerker.

Crimson Peak at The Mount Without, Thu 12 Feb

Inspired by the great haunted house films and with hints of both Hammer Horror and Daphne du Maurier, it’s a refreshingly melodramatic twist on Gothic romance with a healthy dose of spooky goings-on that will keep your heart pounding!

Moonstruck at Averys Wine Cellars, Fri 13 Feb

Starring Cher in an Oscar-winning role and a young Nicolas Cage as her unlikely love interest, it’s an endearingly heartwarming slice of Italian-American romcom perfection, served up alongside a flight of wines from across Italy for an extra dash of authenticity!

Wall-E at The Planetarium, Sat 14 Feb

The robot film with a whole lotta heart is back in time for Valentine’s weekend! The delightful sci-fi misadventure is both an epic voyage into humanity’s future and a nod to silent comedy cinema. It’s perfect for a date night or for the entire family.

Bridget Jones Diary at Averys Wine Cellars, Sat 14 Feb

With the film turning 25 and the original novel turning 30, it’s a double milestone to celebrate as we navigate a tumultuous life in the year of Bridget, in this hilarious feel-good romcom (and loving Jane Austen pastiche!), paired with some wines inspired by the film (including a Chardonnay, naturally…).

Interstellar at The Planetarium, Sat 14 Feb

Explore the Planetarium’s Space exhibition before the screening and see if you’re cut out for a life in space, then recline in this unique screening space. As the lights dim, your journey will begin with a tour of the Solar System in a Planetarium star show - the perfect way to set the scene for your film…
