Black Pyramid Retrospective Screening

Venue : The Cube Microplex : BS2,8JD

The project centers on the Black Pyramid Film and Video Project, an organisation established in 1993 that was crucial in providing training, production support, and exhibition opportunities for Black and ethnic minority filmmakers in the South West of England. Thompson’s personal involvement with Black Pyramid Film began in the late 1990s as a volunteer, where he gained initial experience in the film industry and exposure to film festivals.

Motivated by this formative experience and a recognized need for dedicated screenings of Caribbean and African diaspora cinema in Bristol, Thompson showcase Black Pyramid Film’s archives. A key goal is to acknowledge the significant contributions of the founders, Rob Mitchell, Shawn Sober, and Mindell Bowen, and re-engage the Bristol filmmaking community with this diverse cinematic heritage.
