CINEFEST: The 2016 Bristol International Festival of Cinematography, September 20th - 24th  2016

In 2015 I and a band of enthusiasts organised the First Bristol International Festival of Cinematography followed by a second Festival in 2016. I talked UWE into funding it, won ACE money and sold tickets and it paid back the university & broke even. The principle was to take the Arnolfini in Bristol which has a 200 seat auditorium and ask eminent international cinematographers to come and speak about their craft - but also critically, to demonstrate that in a series of workshops taking place in front of the audience with a set of screens for the audience to see exactly what was being achieved in lighting - through the Camera: The Bristol International Festival of Cinematography.
'The Past' is spilt into 9 areas:
1: Vida                                     1976 - 1981
2: Transition                            1981 - 1982
3: Triple Vision/Videomakers  1982 - 1985
4: Triple Vision & Channel 4    1985 - 1992
5: A Trip Sideways to the BBC 1988 - 1990
6: Cinematography & Scripts   1992 - 2006
7 Academia                              2007 - 2016
8. CineFest                               2015 - 2016
9. Sedition Art                           2015 - 2023
10. Makersplace & NFT's         2019 - 2022
11. 2025 and Beyond?​​
