“During this year’s Mayfest we are dedicating an evening to celebrating some of the beautiful new adventures that Bristol-based performance-makers have taken into film-making since the advent of the pandemic. We know that for some this has happened out of necessity, some through curiosity, for some a way to make sense of a silence and for some it marks the beginnings of a different way of creating and sharing with new audiences.”
From: Mayfest Shorts

“We are so excited to welcome you back to the venue and will be following best practice safety guidelines on the night. If you have any questions please feel free to email [email protected]
From: Cannonball Cabaret Vol 8

Circomedia’s second-year BTEC students take centre stage for the last time whilst on the course, putting all of the creative skills they have developed over the last two years on display to a public audience. They will use the bonds they have created with each other as a year group to proudly showcase their achievements after two years of study.”
