Five days of films, talks and late nights deserve a proper send-off, so for our closing party we're taking over Wake The Tiger, the Amazement Park built by the team behind Boomtown. Part art gallery, part theme park, part film set, it's 40+ rooms of portals, hidden forests and impossible spaces made by hundreds of Bristol artists, and for one night it is ours.

Closing Night Party at Wake The Tiger Saturday 26 September, 8pm until the early hours

Five days of films, talks and late nights deserve a proper send-off, so for our closing party we're taking over Wake The Tiger, the Amazement Park built by the team behind Boomtown. Part art gallery, part theme park, part film set, it's 40+ rooms of portals, hidden forests and impossible spaces made by hundreds of Bristol artists, and for one night it is ours.

Doors open at 8pm and the park is yours to wander all night. Get lost for a while, then join us to raise a glass to this year's winners before special guests take over the decks. The park has a few extra secrets planned for us too: keep an ear out for a ringing phone, because somewhere in the building there's a rave that isn't on the map, and only those who crack the code will find their way in. Shh.

Filmmakers, jurors, guests and friends of the festival, all lost in the same very strange building.

Access Please be aware that the venue is a highly sensory experience with low lighting, flashing lights, sound effects, atmospheric smells, and some haze and smoke. There is level wheelchair access throughout the majority of the venue, with lifts alongside both staircases. Visitors with disabilities can bring a carer or support worker free of charge. Only small bags (roughly A4 size) are permitted. This is an over-18 event.
