“Cinemas & festivals have always been spaces where you can start difficult conversations. What I love about what filmmakers can do for these difficult conversations is show us something so much more complex than what a news piece can do.” Tricia Tuttle in @screendaily.com.web.brid.gy
Very tempted to take a trip to #Belfast to experience some of the films I missed in #Bristol (due to being too tied up with the delivery of the festival… ) 🤩👇
