EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bristol was designated a UNESCO Creative City of
Film in 2017. Since then, our city has been in the global
spotlight several times. In 2018 we were the first UK
local authority to declare a Climate Emergency and in
2020, following Black Lives Matter protests, a statue
of Edward Colston, a 17th Century trader in enslaved
Africans, was thrown into the same harbour his ships
used to embark from. At the time, I described it as an
almost poetic expression of history, but it could have
been seen by some as cinematic symbolism. This scene
of Bristol’s story was seen by millions, and it became
even more important than ever that those telling it
represented the city’s full diversity.
As the local and national film and TV sector is
growing at a pace, Bristol’s UNESCO City of Film
title is now even more significant. The status and
its focus on sustainable urban development brings
new opportunities to encourage the type of growth
that directly benefits people across Bristol’s diverse
communities. Our refreshed UNESCO City of Film
Action Plan focuses on harnessing this growth to
enable local training and employment for our most
underrepresented citizens. It will connect the moving
image sector to our ambitious environmental aims and
use the global reach of the UNESCO Creative Cities
Network to showcase new voices from our city.
The designation brought recognition of Bristol’s
thriving creative sector and an impetus for
collaborative action to benefit our moving image
sector. It was a key factor in Bristol’s successful bid for
a Channel 4 Creative Hub in 2018 and secured national
and international creative and educational initiatives.
It has encouraged the growth of our filming offer,
encompassing world-class TV drama series, natural
history programming and award-winning animation
feature films.
It brings new opportunities for our vibrant cultural
sector charities and businesses, and has helped support
our creative freelancers back into work following the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Bristol has the rare privilege of being in receipt of two
UNESCO designations; UNESCO Learning City and
UNESCO City of Film. This enables a close alignment
across our educational and cultural aims, as well as
a strong synergy with UNESCO’s ethos and the UN
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In recent
years, Bristol has led the charge for delivering the
SDGs, as the first UK city to complete a Voluntary
Local Review in 2019. Fully embedded in our Bristol
One City Plan and accompanying policies, the UN
SDGs act as a guiding framework for citywide action.
Sustainable urban development is at the heart of
Bristol’s local and international agendas. Our One
City Approach brings together a wide range of public,
private and third sector partners within Bristol.
They share an aim to make Bristol a fair, healthy and
sustainable city. A city of hope and aspiration, where
everyone can share in its success. At an international
level, we work with the world for local and global
benefit, achieving our vision of a stronger, more
inclusive city and providing leadership on the global
development goals.
Bristol’s UNESCO City of Film status is a key
component of our international work; strengthening
global connections and showcasing our city’s creative
talent. Our bid for the title was influenced by the
desire for worldwide recognition of our cultural
heritage and creative industries. By our drive to
strengthen our international links through access to a
wide-reaching network of cities that all share Bristol’s
understanding of the crucial role of culture and
creativity as a driver for sustainable development.
This Membership Monitoring Report is evidence of
the multi-faceted contribution Bristol’s moving image
sector brings to our cultural offer. It showcases some
of the ground-breaking creative work taking place in
our city and celebrates Bristol’s position as a global
leader in moving image production, education and
cultural activity.

Mayor of Bristol

Slavery and Pickney, all of which respond to global events
and reflect the lived experiences of black people.
Cables & Cameras
Now a fully established network and hub for POC
(People of Colour) filmmakers and creatives in Bristol,
Cables & Cameras provides a platform where filmmakers
can discuss, share and debate ideas. Founder Gary
Thompson identified the need to link Bristol diverse
communities to filmmaking and watching opportunities.
From bi-monthly film nights at the independently led
Cube Cinema, to staging a guerilla outdoor film screening
at the St Paul’s Carnival’s 50th anniversary celebrations,
the network has gone from strength to strength since
beginning three years ago. They have also hosted fringe
events at major film festivals and become a key voice in
Bristol’s independent film community.
Cables & Cameras Black Pyramid Retrospective © R. Thompson
Building on ongoing activity at The Cube, Cables &
Cameras produced a weekend takeover of Watershed in
September 2021, titled ‘Inspired’. The event, supported by
Watershed, BFI FAN, BFI Network and BFI South West
Academy (awarding funds from the National Lottery),
included the sold-out premiere of South West-backed BFI
NETWORK short film Pickney plus Q&A with writer-
director Michael Jenkins and lead actor Ajani Cabey.
69% of Inspired attendees surveyed had never been to
Watershed before. 80% felt they were introduced to a
new type of film and 73% were inspired to watch more
films like the one they have seen. 100% rated their
experience of the event as very good/good.
CARGO
CARGO workshop with Lawrence Hoo and Jen Reid © Khali Ackford
CARGO is an independent creative collective
producing films and creative resources which
illuminate untold stories of the African Diaspora.
CARGO’s core project is CARGO Classroom, an
openly accessible set of education tools distributed
in partnership with the National Education Union.
Other projects include The People’s Platform augmented
reality installation supported by Apache and 8th Wall,
and Universalcity.co.uk, an interactive site developed
in partnership with the University of Bristol. In 2021,
CARGO opened CARGO Loft, a professional studio
in central Bristol which is freely accessible to local
creatives of African and African Diaspora heritage.
CARGO is led by poet, co-founder and Executive
Producer Lawrence Hoo, and co-founder and creative
director Charles Golding. It is delivered with the
support of Arts Council England and Thresholds.
Creative Workforce for the Future’s mission
was to make the creative industries as representative as
the society in which we live. A pilot programme in 2020
saw 50 SMEs from the Bristol & Bath region supporting
trainees aged 18-30 from groups not currently widely
represented within the region’s creative industries;
creatives of Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic origin and/
or those who identify as having a disadvantaged socio-
economic background.
Trainees were given work experience placements
across organisations specialising in film, broadcast,
digital production, animation and post-production. A
key aim was to support creative companies to make
their workplaces and working practices more inclusive.
A host of Bristol production companies (e.g. Aardman
Animations, A Productions, Drummer TV, Calling the
Shots and Icon Films) and film festivals (e.g. Encounters
& Wildscreen) took part in the programme.
Despite the challenges caused by the COVID-19
pandemic, following completion of the programme the
entire cohort was successful in securing employment
with a variety of local and national creative organisations
and businesses.

These outcomes are all the more notable considering
that they were achieved during an academic year that

6.2 International Initiatives
Bristol’s UNESCO City of Film status is a key driver for
international activity, as set out in Bristol City Council’s
International Strategy. Objectives within this 2021-2025
Action Plan contribute to the city’s aims to raise Bristol’s
global profile, progress international cultural policy, bring
cultural and educational experiences to the city, cement
cultural links for Bristol’s diverse communities and
strengthen global partnerships.
Film has the power to break down barriers, to educate
and influence change. Bristol UNESCO City of Film’s
international agenda will use film as a tool for celebrating
Bristol’s identity and strengthening our UCCN network
links. It aims to provide new cultural experiences in
our communities and progress ambitions for a more
sustainable global film and TV sector.
6.2.1 Celebrating culture & identity
Bristol Census 2021 data shows that since 2010 the
city’s population has become increasingly diverse and
some local communities have changed significantly.
There are now at least 45 religions practised, 187
countries of birth represented and 91 main languages
spoken in Bristol. UCCN membership provides an
opportunity to enhance cultural celebration in the city.
We will use our UNESCO City of Film designation
to foster creative collaborations that build upon and
celebrate our international links and provide even
greater connection to the rest of the world.
2021-2025 Bristol UNESCO City of Film
objectives:
- Explore UCCN links to enhance the Bristol One
City ambition for a local Festival of Language
and Culture.
- Support Bristol Diaspora Community aims for the
development of a Bristol Nollywood Festival.
- Play an active role in ‘Bristol 2023: 650 Years as a
City’, a celebration of culture and identity.
- Connect ambitions for a Bristol Screen Summit to
UCCN network opportunities.
6.2.2 UNESCO Cities of Film
International Research Network
UNESCO Cities of Film are home to world-leading
educational institutions that shape research and
innovation in the global screen sector. UCCN
membership provides a unique opportunity to establish
connections between our leading research institutions
and foster new ways of collaborating. In partnership with
UWE and fellow UNESCO Cities of Film, we propose
to develop an international UNESCO Cities of Film
Research Network that will enhance academic links and
influence collaborative international research for the
sustainable development of the film and TV industry.
2021-2025 Bristol UNESCO City of Film
objectives:
a) Establish a sustainable International Research Network
embedded within the UNESCO City of Film Sub-
Network to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas
centring on UNESCO City of Film’s three key themes of
film education, film heritage and film production.
b) Foster relationships between academics and other
stakeholders from cities within the UNESCO City
of Film Sub-Network, stimulating new debate across
national, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries.
c) Produce a set of tangible outputs that will be of practical
use to researchers and stakeholders involved.
6.2.3 Exchanging stories on film
Bristol’s creative response to COVID-19 (see Section
7) showed how film has the power to connect people
across the world. Bristol’s aims for showcasing authentic
stories from our city, set out in Section 6.1.2, can be
enhanced by our international links. The UCCN network
offers opportunities to amplify Bristol voices; showcasing
the city’s identity amongst UNESCO Creative Cities.
Through the exchange of stories on film, we will foster
closer relationships with fellow UNESCO Cities of Film,
develop new educational opportunities and broaden the
reach of film within our local community settings.
2021-2025 Bristol UNESCO City of Film
objectives:
a) Utilise Bristol’s international film festival links to enable
a regular exchange of films between UNESCO Creative
Cities and screenings in Bristol and other UNESCO
Cities of Film.
b) Liaise between Bristol cultural and community
organisations as and other UNESCO Cities of Film, to
screen international films in local community settings.
c) Partner with Bristol City Council’s International team
and Bristol’s Global Goals Centre to support delivery
of projects that connect Bristol’s Diaspora and Refugee
communities to UCCN aims and activity.

 6.4 Plan for communication and awareness
6.4.1 Communications to date
In its first four years, Bristol UNESCO City of Film has
founded and developed a series of branded communications
channels that together provide a unifying voice for the city’s
film and moving image sector and its diverse community of
creative individuals, organisations and businesses.
The Bristol UNESCO City of Film website -
Bristolcityoffilm.co.uk - is an engaging platform profiling
the city’s long-standing film and moving image successes
under the brand strapline WATCH - MAKE - LEARN
(encompassing exhibition, production and education strands
of activity). Projects for which Bristol UNESCO City of
Film is a delivery partner or core supporter are highlighted
in further detail and a Latest Activity page is home to time
sensitive updates and guest blogs from key voices including
filmmakers, festival organisers and decision makers.
Released in 2019, the inaugural Bristol UNESCO City of Film
Showreel presents a cross-section of screen-related activity
emerging from the city. It was universally well received
as an inspiring visual snapshot of Bristol’s broad-ranging
strengths in the field of film and helped further galvanise
the community of City of Film stakeholders. In 2020, Bristol
UNESCO City of Film branding was installed at Bristol
Airport, raising awareness of the status amongst domestic
and international travellers. In 2021, the ‘Who’s Who In...
Skills, Education & Training’ digital directory was produced,
designed to signpost young people towards film-related
education and training opportunities in the city. This was
the first in the ‘Who’s Who In...’ series; future instalments
are planned for other sub-sectors of Bristol’s film and TV
infrastructure (production companies, festivals & events, etc.)
Bristol Airport Walkway 2021 © Bristol UNESCO City of Film
On social media, Bristol UNESCO City of Film has built
well-established followings on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram
and LinkedIn. These channels enable a continual ‘buzz’ of
Bristol film activity, discussed and celebrated within the city
and further afield. International updates from other Film
Cities and wider UCCN network members also inform
the Bristol audience and provide connections to new
opportunities.
Film competitions and festivals have enjoyed improved
international engagement with global participants
thanks to the reach of Bristol City of Film’s channels,
particularly during the pandemic where many events
were delivered virtually.
Bristol UNESCO City of Film is a consistent and active
participant at events in the year-round calendar of
festivals, panel discussions and skills open days taking
place in the city. Media coverage of such events regularly
features Bristol’s UNESCO City of Film status. Whether
it is being referenced by the Mayor of Bristol in his
annual State of the City Address, by Natalie Moore,
Bristol UNESCO City of Film Manager in local TV
or radio interviews, or by Watershed Curator Mark
Cosgrove’s introduction to Cinema Rediscovered, the
status is firmly woven into the narrative of the city. It
features widely as a USP in descriptions of Bristol’s
creative industries profile.
6.4.2 Future aims
We will continue to raise awareness of Bristol’s
UNESCO City of Film status and what it means at a
local, national, and global level. In 2020, Bristol City of
Film PR & Marketing Manager Tara Milne was successfully
contracted to deliver three years’ communications
support, to build on work achieved to date.
6.4.3 Our audience
- Bristol UNESCO City of Film’s screen sector
stakeholders, comprising filmmakers, festival
organisers, venues, production companies, film/ TV
organisations, training providers and
education establishments.
- Bristol’s general public, ranging from adult
residents with an interest in culture, to school age
children interested in careers in film/TV (and their
educators and families/caregivers).
- The Film Cities Sub Network, members
of the UCCN, UNESCO and other
international partners.
6.4.4 Communications plan
To creatively and effectively harness the established
communication channels (listed in Section 6.4.1) to
promote and profile work carried out under the four
Action Points in the 2021-25 Bristol UNESCO City of
Film Action Plan:
#1 SKILLS:
A High-End TV Skills Agenda for South Bristol.
#2 STORIES:
Developing and sharing Bristol stories on film.
#3: ENVIRONMENT:
Sustainable filming activity.
#4: INTERNATIONAL:
Building global connections through film.
18
 To continue to provide a unifying voice for Bristol’s wider
film and moving image sector and its diverse community
of creative individuals, organisations and businesses. To
identify and implement new branding opportunities
to raise visibility and awareness of Bristol’s City
of Film status in the UK and internationally (e.g.
updated showreel, ‘Who’s Who In’ series, further
transit advertising, visitor economy/tourism-related
partnerships, presence at public-facing cultural events).

INITIATIVES UNDERTAKEN
IN RESPONSE TO AND FOR
THE RECOVERY FROM
COVID-19
The catastrophic impact of the pandemic on creative
freelancers, charities and businesses led to swift
local policy interventions. In April 2020, Bristol City
Council’s Culture & Creative Industries service quickly
established the Culture Recovery & Development
group, made up of specialist officers representing the
film & TV, arts, festivals & events and museums sub-
sectors. The team carried out early sector surveys that
painted a stark picture of the economic implications of
the pandemic. Notable results included:
These survey results and the ensuing work by Bristol
City Council’s Culture Recovery & Development
Team directly influenced two major outcomes for the
sector; the development of the aforementioned One
City Culture Board and recognition of the unique and
essential role that culture and the creative industries
play in economic recovery. This was evidenced by the
strong presence of cultural objectives within Bristol’s
One City Economic Recovery & Renewal Strategy
(October 2020). The strategy aspires to do more
than just help steer Bristol’s economy back to where
it was at the start of 2020, recreating the existing
challenges. Instead, it aims to help point and take us
towards a renewed economy, which is more inclusive,
sustainable, carbon neutral and ecologically positive.
Bristol’s UNESCO City of Film Office Manager is a
founding member of Bristol City Council’s Culture
Development Team and continues to play an active role
in this ongoing work to support long-term recovery
and strategic development of Bristol’s Film production
and exhibition sector.
During COVID-19, creativity in Bristol continued
to thrive. In many ways, art and creativity became a
necessary outlet and a means of connecting at times
of isolation and uncertainty. The Bristol City Council
campaign #WeAreBristol, developed stories on film to
unite the city during the height of the pandemic. Films
such as City of Hope, We are Still Bristol and Bristol
Remembers tell the story of the city throughout and
beyond COVID-19 lockdowns. The #WeAreBristol
campaign embodies how the people of Bristol are
working together to build a city of hope, where
everyone that chooses to live here is treated fairly and
has the same life chances. During the pandemic this has
been more important than ever.
In response to the first wave of the pandemic, young
Bristol artists were showcased through Rising Arts
Agency’s powerful #WhoseFuture billboard campaign.
Launched across 370+ sites city-wide, it gave Bristol’s
young artists the space to amplify their voices and
address themes of racism, climate justice, access,
leadership and young people’s futures.
During periods of lockdown isolation, stories from
the city were shared around the world. Bristol-made
films covered issues including transatlantic slave history,
identity, isolation and migration. Powerful stories
included The Shadow of Slavery for Channel 4’s ‘Take Your
Knee off My Neck’ series, and We Are Not the Virus and
Sign Night for the BBC’s ‘Culture in Quarantine’ strand:
all showing how film can connect, educate and empower.

Periods of lockdown led to high demand for new

TV and film content across the UK. Bristol has seen
unprecedented levels of filming on location for major
TV drama series since production activity was able to
resume in Summer 2020. This has provided a major
boost for sections of the city’s creative freelance
workforce, many of whom were without employment.
Working with a national screen sector taskforce and
local industry partners, Bristol Film Office responded
by working to understand the challenges faced by the
sector and developing new guidelines to enable filming
to take place safely in public spaces.
