This is an archive page for The Bioskop Presents… Equinox Cinema (also known as The Bioskop Presents… Human Sacrifice) – an action that took place on Sunday 21st March 2011 at the time of the Vernal Equinox.

This outdoor event took place in St Werburgh’s, Bristol at the Old Sidings beside Narroways Hill (aka The Tump, Strawberry Hill). Narroways Hill looks over Bristol and has a culture where for many years people have congregated at weekends, partying, picnicing, sitting round fires, listening to music, chatting, drinking and smoking. The night before the Equinox we went up to the hill, to work out where to site the bioskop screen – several dozen people were there watching the moon rise, for what was the largest full moon in eighteen years.
