In its heyday, going to the cinema captured the imagination of young and old alike. Bristol boasted over 60 venues ranging from a part-time swimming pool to luxurious super cinemas. In the 50s and 60s television's popularity increased. Cinema-going began to dwindle and the old picture houses disappeared one by one. Today the cinema is back and thriving. Alongside traditional venues, multiplexes and the Imax cinema offer a new all-round entertainment experience. Made in the year 2000, this Bristol cinema documentary looks at cinemas old and new, as they were at the start of the twentieth century up to the beginning of the Millenium, including:- - Local contributions to the development of moving pictures - Bristol Cinema history buffs Wally Ball, Denys Chamberlain, Bryan Haynes and Bill Knight, reliving the magic and romance of a night at the pictures - Behind the scenes at both classical picture houses and modern multiplexes. - The devastating effect of the blitz - Silent movie footage If you've enjoyed this video make sure you subscribe to my channel https://www.youtube.com/user/PPMsTV?sub_confirmation=1 You can also find me in the following places:- Blog: http://practicallyperfectmums.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pracperfectmums Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PracticallyPerfectMums Instagram: http://instagram.com/practicallyperfectmums Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/ppms/ Snapchat!: https://www.snapchat.com/add/janebatt Google plus: https://plus.google.com/+PracticallyperfectmumsCoUk Travel Massive Bristol Chapter Leader: https://travelmassive.com/chapters/bristol Like what you've seen?
