May 2014 Watershed Podcast

What this episode covers

In this month's podcast Andrew Kelly, Director of Bristol Festival of Ideas talks to Mark Cosgrove, Watershed Cinema Curator about the tenth anniversary of the festival. They discuss May's wide ranging programme of talks, events and screenings which cover amongst others science, literature, new wave feminism and the centenary of the start of World War One – and how audiences ten years on still have a voracious appetite to come together face-to-face to engage with ideas. Cinema screenings they discuss as part of the World War One commemorations include Bristol produced Till The Boys Come Home, in which the people of Midsomer Norton and Radstock re-enact the oral history of their ancestors, and Stanley Kubrick's incredibly brutal, anti-war film Paths of Glory.
