Better big screen coming soon to Millennium Square
Powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, a new big screen on Millennium Square will provide higher definition and better sound quality when it is turned on at the end of July.
A vastly improved and more accessible viewing experience is promised with the new screen, including for audiences with visual and hearing impairments.
Run by We The Curious since 2016, events shown on the big screen are due to restart in the autumn which will coincide with the science centre’s new Project What If exhibition, based entirely on questions asked by the people of Bristol.

In 2021, the new screen will show the Tokyo Olympics, free film screenings and a programme of community-led content.

Big screen producer, Alexis Hobson, said: “We have worked together with Toshiba over the past year and are so excited to be able to offer the public a new screen, enabling us to bring more free events, higher quality film screenings and a better community resource to We The Curious and the city.”
Natalie Moore from Bristol UNESCO City of Film added: “It’s fantastic news for Bristol that the public will be able to enjoy an even better visual and audio experience on a new and improved screen.
“As well as special event screenings, the big screen provides a valuable platform for locally made filmmakers, animators and documentary makers.”
