Cafe Kino

Irrepressible retro garage-jangle anchored by wry Glaswegian drawl: no doubt about it, Neutrals are Television Personalities’ spiritual successor in Californian/Scots hybrid form. Add in ambrosial C86-style three-piece Silk Cuts and Ravetank’s distortion-doused experimental power-pop… now close yr eyes and you could almost be back in the Indietracks pews! FFO: The Pastels, The Go-Betweens, Elephant Six. NEUTRALS , SILK CUTS and RAVETANK at Cafe Kino.

Pitch-black 00s sleeper hit with national treasure Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher, We Need To Talk About Kevin) in the director seat, and peak Samantha Morton hogging the lens. Making the most of her boyfriend’s suicide – in the most twisted sense – Morvern is an unforgettable and ambiguous figure, brooding on wounds too deep to speak of. God bless Cinema Transexuàl for this gift of dreamy UK cinema dread! CINEMA TRANSEXUÁL PRESENTS: MORVERN CALLAR at Cafe Kino.

Blockbuster Kino collage sonics beamed from the Collapsing Drums cottage industry! In the basement: ruff’n’ready experiments in rupture and repair coming from Tapeworm alumni Tears I Ov, weaving cello-heavy sampledelic sound art alongside a long overdue live return from local guitar’n’drums improv unit COIMS. Unmissable underground one for the tape freaks! AMY / Tears|Ov / COIMS / Silver Waves DJ at Cafe Kino.

Superbad for the girls and gays! 2019’s Booksmart follows two co-dependent nerds whose end-of-high-school blowout / hormonal exorcism spirals into serious suburban chaos – it’s the gross-out cringe-comedy we deserve, beamed to Cafe Kino by the trans healthcare fundraising angels at Project The Dolls. In July we’re screening queer rom-com Booksmart at Cafe Kino!

Relentless riffage raising cash for Refugee Women of Bristol, what’s not to like there? Steel City metallic hardcore heroes Dead Harts return for a Kino cagematch vs Chewing Glass’ industrial-damaged grind vs Casket Feeder’s djent-y deathcore whirlwind. 60-cap insanity FFO: The Chariot, Stick To Your Guns, Agoraphobic Nosebleed. Close quarters carnage in the Cafe!
