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. After the winners are revealed SOJEBE & ISABELLA will take the decks bringing jukebox rhythms from heel movers to hip swayers. Exploring sounds from across the globe, soulful grooves to playful percussive rhythms, spanning the Middle East, Africa, South America and beyond!
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.
