“The Bristol debut screening of VISIBLE, directed by Campbell X and produced by Kayza Rose, sets the tone for the night. VISIBLE digs in and shreds misconceptions that LGBTQ+ people of colour have no history - and no story to tell. Weaving together the tales of inspirational ancestors, contemporary artists, political activists, and community leaders - VISIBLE challenges mainstream perception and the sanitisation of LGBTQ+ legacies by celebrating complexity, multiplicity, and the myths, gossips, legends, and truths of QTIPOC histories.”

“Föllakzoid began seven years ago as a trance experience between childhood friends Diego, Juan Pablo, and Domingo from Santiago, Chile. Heavily informed by the heritage of the ancient music of the Andes, the band has learned to integrate this influence with contemporary sounds of their times, creating a rich yet minimal atmosphere.”

“King Creosote has become of Scotland's most acclaimed and prolific, singer-songwriters: a squeezebox Casanova with a cosmic wordplay fetish, whose voice leaves gentle devastation in its wake. He was short-listed for 2011's Mercury Prize thanks to Diamond Mine, his sublime collaboration with Jon Hopkins.”
