Marking 50 years since the occupation of the West Bank, this year’s seventh annual Bristol Palestine Film Festival brings an eclectic selection of films and events to various venues across the city.
In the medieval crypt of St John on the Wall church (just around the corner from the Palestine Museum & Cultural Centre on Broad Street), site-specific theatre specialists Insane Root present The Tempest.
Elsewhere, events at the Spiegeltent are in full flow; highlights this week include The Puppini Sisters. And on Sunday, Good Chemistry host their second Collaborative Christmas Market, inviting friends from businesses they have worked with this year to set up shop at the brewery in St Phillip’s for the afternoon.
