How to get there -
We’re in Riverside Park (it’s between the M32 and the River Frome, south of Easton Roundabout and north of Staples/Cabot Circus)
If you’re on foot or bike there’s a foot bridge across the M32 (marked in yellow on the map) opposite St Paul’s Community Sports Centre, or you can come down Wellington Road from Easton Roundabout, or up from Staples…
If you’re in a car the best place to park is on Newfoundland Road in front of St Paul’s Community Sports Centre and then cross over the M32 on the footbridge (marked in yellow on the map)
(nb. you can’t park on Wellington Road – the first half is double yellows and the second half is pedestrian only)
Bring refreshments and something to sit on… see you there!
VAGABOND CINEMA coming

There are three Bioskop events coming up in future time – we now have pages open for The Bioskop… goes Dogging and The Bioskop Presents… Cinema Without Screens. Information and research will be going up in the next weeks and months.
But first, on Sunday June 19th at sunset (9.21pm) The Bioskop will be presenting…Vagabond Cinema. We’ll be putting on a drifting screening/installation in one of Bristol’s many urban/rural non-spaces.
The location of the event will be published here at 12 noon on the day – Sunday June 18th. If you’d like a reminder email, drop us a line at bioskop@cubecinema.com
Vagabond traces the journey of Mona, a teenage drifter, as she wonders the winter margins of rural/urban southern France. The little we find out about Mona is told through the people she encounters. The film loops back and forth through her story – its structure reflecting the un-anchored nature of Mona’s life.
This Bioskop action is taking place in conjunction with artists Close and Remote‘s exhibition Traverse at the Geneva Stop Gallery
Marginality is explored by two video works ‘Traverse’ and ‘Kit’. ‘Traverse’, a three-screen work by Close and Remote (2010), uses sound to trace the visual narrative as it journeys the margins between industry and nature in the urban settings of Los Angeles, Barrow-in-Furness and New Mexico. ‘Kit’, a video work by Sophie Mellor (2010) uses a simple light emitting diode, powered by a urine fuelled battery, that in turn is set against the New Mexico ‘mesa’ landscape. The overall effect is quieting and chronistic in form.
On Friday 17th June 6-8pm there’s an exhibition preview and the launch of their book “A Manual For Marginal Places” a textbook for exploring the peripheral; then the exhibition continues Wed-Sun 12.30-6pm until 17th July.
