29/08/14 - Next Bluescreen is 10/09/14
23/08/14 - Digital Films @ Bluescreen
Hey, so we have been screening films via USB and Hard Drives for the last 2 Bluescreens and while the quality of how films look on screen has been largely improved and we have had more films and people in through the door (thank you all!), we have encountered a few teething problems with screening from digital files, which has regrettably caused some delays at our screenings.
Some of the file sizes have been very large, meaning it takes ages to transfer films onto our Laptop to screen; there has been several versions of the same film in a folder and some files were are not labelled at all, causing some confusion which ones to screen. And we had some Hard drives problems too.
I guess we don’t really tell people how we want films ‘formatted’ to screen at Bluescreen, but as screening from digital files has been causing delays at our last 2 screenings and as we do want to carry on screening them, we have decided to put together some guidelines (see below). We also hear that the Tech setup in the Cube Projection room has been upgraded, so this should iron out any other problems too.
So ideally we like to screen from either DVD or USB….
DVD - Should be playable in a DVD Player (ie. not data files) and bring a backup disk if you can.
USB - Digital Film Files should be clearly marked with your name, film title and our name - BLUESCREEN, so it can be quickly found by our projectionist.
To get the best screening experience at Bluescreen, we suggest your film should be formatted in H264 video compression, with AAC compression for audio. And limit the data rate to 15,000 kbits/sec and films should be no larger than 5GB per file.
https://handbrake.fr/ is a great free program than can help you with this, but there are others out there too.
We hope this all helps to improve your Bluescreen screening experience in the future!
Thanks for reading!

Bluescreen are hosting an Open Screening at The Peoples Palace Cinema at the festival on the Sunday, so if you are going bring us a film or why not make one at the festival and let us screen it! Also on the Friday night we will be doing another screening of some past Bluescreen films.. See some of you there..
26/07/14 - Films Screened 23/07 at Bluescreen
Big big thanks to everyone who came along to Wednesday's Bluescreen and for sticking it out, as it was a very busy, hot and humid night in the Cube. And also an epic night for films, we screened 20 films and finished just after midnight!
We are sorry to hear that some people had to leave before their film was shown, as we always endeavour to accommodate people if they let us know they need to leave before the end and we do try to show all films brought in on the night.
But as it was so hot and as a lot of people had left, about 11.55 we decided to do a shout out to any filmmakers left in the remaining audience and we ended up just showing their films and calling it a night.
Futurewise, we will update everyone on how long the evening will be, which of course we only know once all the films are in; we do usually do this if we have a lot of films in, not sure why we didn't on Wednesday, think the heat was getting to us too.
So to anyone who didn't have their films screened, please bring them along to September's Bluescreen and we will prioritise them and make sure they get screened first.
So here's what we Screened:

06/05/14 Films on Memory Sticks?
Good idea/bad idea? We have been thinking about this for a while, screening films from Memory sticks instead of DVDs. May simplify the process of getting films off computers and bringing them to screen at Bluescreen. So at May's event if you want to bring your films along on a Memory stick instead of a DVD then do it! But if you still want to bring it along on DVD then thats cool too.

13/11/13 - The Film that Buys the (Cube) Cinema - 60 Second Takes Wanted!
Bluescreen are excited to announce that we have been invited to take part in The Film That Buys the Cinema (FTBTC) and what we need from you is a '60 second Take'! Read on...
"FTBTC is a 70 minute art feature film comprised of one-minute takes, no edits. Each minute is shot by contributors who have passed through the Cube and who are special to us: film makers, musicians, poets, amateurs, wrestlers, radicals, community groups and more.
Each contributor's take is 60 seconds long. Each minute will be sequenced together to morph into a labyrinthine journey of light and sound, capturing not only the here and now but the history and future of our very special and deeply loved independent social cinema space.
From the wilfully obscure to the cult, the pop spectrum to the outer limits, from scientists to skaters The Film That Buys the Cinema will be a series of takes on life's rich pageant, bumper to bumper. An artistic time capsule.
Through associated art objects, credits and then exhibition, this film will help raise the final funds needed to buy the actual building the Cube is housed in and secure the plucky Microplex's future"
And Bluescreens part is...
Bluescreen: Contribute a Take
"...1 x 60 second take is open for sourcing. YOU can contribute by sending a take into Cube's very own Bluescreen, the 'Open Screen Independent Walk-in Film Programme' operating since 2001. Bluescreen will pick one of the submitted takes and this will be included in the 70 min feature.
Delivery: Up to 2k resolution (ideally high def) - on tape, USB stick and sent to BLUESCREEN / FTBTC to Cube address: 4 Princess Row, Bristol, UK, BS2 8NQ, or upload to us via wetransfer or similar: [email protected]. Any technical queries please contact [email protected].
IMPORTANT. Only submit material that is unique, able to be used for eternity by the Freehold project and has no strings attached."
DEADLINE for submissions is December 2nd.

A few things of a Bluescreen nature to tell you about and one Bluescreen thing we would like to tell you about but cant.. just yet.. (we are quite excited though and you will be too! We will tell you soon, promise).
The Bluescreen Docu Project
Work on the project is happening! Interviews are being filmed.. and heres a message from Dominic, one of the people involved with the Project... "If anyone would like to get involved you are very welcome. If you have made a film and shown it at Bluescreen we would be interested in interviewing you about that experience." Contact Dominic here: [email protected]
Farewell Dave
We have to bid a sad farewell to Dave, who for the past 18 months has been a vital part of team Bluescreen and has more than likely projected your film at Bluescreen in that period too! He is moving onto pastures new and we wish him all the very best and thank him especially for easing us into the blu-ray era of Bluescreen and thus less DVD issues at screenings! Thanks Dave :)
The next Bluescreen, is actually the last Bluescreen of the year! Nov 20th. Spread the word! Hope you can make it along. http://www.cubecinema.com/cgi-bin/diary/programme.pl?days=92#7158
05/10/13 - Septembers Bluescreen..
After Bluescreen is over films we showed stay with me…Will the superhero fly out of his 2d animation to protect the projected on cardboard city? Would he have saved the fighting couple from their unlovely marriage? Did he speed up and slow down time in Bristol? could he explain the lyrics of the obscure pop song? Was his inspiration the beautiful painted girl?
Beautiful, diverse set of films experimental, animation, pop video, cityscape. Thank you for bringing them. Thank you for coming along and thanks for joining in a discussion and chatting in the bar afterwards.. This is where you hear all about where the films came from; their origins, the serendipity of living below a musician, where the oil paintings are stored.. Bluescreen is the most interesting night.. Thanks again!
The films we showed were
Moving painting. Eva Freeman (3 minutes)
Bigger the front. Sue Elliott (4 minutes 30 seconds)
I’ll give you stag night!. Wayne Lee (14 minutes)
My bristol lapse. Pablo de las Cuevas (4 minutes 55 seconds)

Thank you to everyone who came to bring their films.
You brought a mix of experimental documentary, documentary, drama, music film and art installation. The films were varied and hugely captivating making for a rich and detailed evening of viewing.
Breaking from our usual format we introduced a discussion section. We chose to do this following some interesting discussions in the bar. We thought it would be good to extend this exchange of questions in private conversations to the whole audience. So after the break some filmmakers came to the front of the auditorium where they answered questions about the concepts behind their films and how they had come to make some of their decisions. Many many thanks to Regine, Jez and Dani for doing this and for everyone in the audience who asked their questions. Through this process I feel I learned so much more about the films and filmmakers and it felt very rewarding. Thanks to the Cube Orchestra for the live rescore – it was exciting and dynamic. And thank you to Tom for DJ-ing in the bar.
The next Bluescreen at The Cube is September 25th. See you there.

21/02/13 - The Bluescreen Film idea!
Right then who wants to make a film about Bluescreen!?
Bluescreen has screened literally thousands of films since 2001 and as we enter into our 12th year, maybe the time is right to make a film documenting the enigma that is Bluescreen!
So we are looking for potential documenters. Anyone out there amongst all you good filmmaking folk, want to make a film about Bluescreen? There is a story to be told...
All that history.. the films, the people, the filmmakers, the djs, the
orchestra, the festivals and the Cube Cinema itself!
I'm afraid the Budget = zero. BUT you will have access to the Bluescreen archives, all the people involved past and present and 'back stage' access to future Bluescreens to document behind the scenes etc. You would have editorial control and the only stipulation we will make is that it is under 20 minutes in length. And of course you be able to screen it at Bluescreen and beyond!
There is no timescale for this project, so if anyone is interested or
wanting to know more, just drop us an email at [email protected]

03/11/12 - Bluescreen Halloween - What we Screened
Many thanks to the filmmakers who brought the films along to show last night (31st Oct). We showed seven films most with horror as a theme – and varying from those made on the night (literally) to those made in 1985, Performance art to suspense-filled horror.
Michael Moustafi brought three films all with a horror and music theme. Hysteria, a worm-ridden apple of a music performance was a World Premiere at the Cube.
3AM (Part 2 of a scary trilogy by Lee Matthews and Rachael Groom) built suspense carefully while we held our breath waiting to see our heroine in the spotty dressing gown would cope with the ever-increasing sinister events in her isolated and lonely cottage.
Strange Encounters by Andrew Williams featured ghostly apparitions and time warps in the camera obscura a classic from 1985.
Thriller by Mr Hopkinson featured extreme slo mo of last week’s Bristol Zombie walk – with music by Mr Hopkinson’s computer – this film was compiled on the night.
Alice Vandelev-Booner’s performance art film swimming pools was a beautiful and serene depiction of her interaction with watery landscapes.
Thank you all filmmakers....
Strange Encounters. Andrew Williams. 10 minutes.
Thriller. Me Hopkinson. 5 minutes
3AM. Lee Matthews and Rachel Groom. 10 Minutes.
Little Fingers (Katherine Toy) Michael Moustafi. 4 Minutes.

There were a couple of mystery filmmakers, who left their films but didn't stay for the screening, or maybe they were just a bit shy perhaps!?

Another great turnout! And some great films! We screened 17 films in all, with a total film running time of 112 minutes! Thank you all!
But being Bluescreen the evening didnt exactly go without incident...
So apologies to Rob Turner, whose film wouldnt work at all. And to the other 3 people whose film fell foul of one of our DVD players. 3 films got "stuck" in the DVD player and we couldnt get them out. Eventually we managed to retrieve and play them (or people had a backup copy) in our other DVD Player. (Always best to bring a backup copy just in case!).
Apart from that it all went swimmingly!
Bluescreen is back Nov 30th, but we may also be doing something before then, so watch this space! And thanks again to all who came last along night!

29/08/14 - Next Bluescreen is 10/09/14
23/08/14 - Digital Films @ Bluescreen
Hey, so we have been screening films via USB and Hard Drives for the last 2 Bluescreens and while the quality of how films look on screen has been largely improved and we have had more films and people in through the door (thank you all!), we have encountered a few teething problems with screening from digital files, which has regrettably caused some delays at our screenings.
Some of the file sizes have been very large, meaning it takes ages to transfer films onto our Laptop to screen; there has been several versions of the same film in a folder and some files were are not labelled at all, causing some confusion which ones to screen. And we had some Hard drives problems too.
I guess we don’t really tell people how we want films ‘formatted’ to screen at Bluescreen, but as screening from digital files has been causing delays at our last 2 screenings and as we do want to carry on screening them, we have decided to put together some guidelines (see below). We also hear that the Tech setup in the Cube Projection room has been upgraded, so this should iron out any other problems too.
So ideally we like to screen from either DVD or USB….
DVD - Should be playable in a DVD Player (ie. not data files) and bring a backup disk if you can.
USB - Digital Film Files should be clearly marked with your name, film title and our name - BLUESCREEN, so it can be quickly found by our projectionist.
To get the best screening experience at Bluescreen, we suggest your film should be formatted in H264 video compression, with AAC compression for audio. And limit the data rate to 15,000 kbits/sec and films should be no larger than 5GB per file.
https://handbrake.fr/ is a great free program than can help you with this, but there are others out there too.
We hope this all helps to improve your Bluescreen screening experience in the future!
Thanks for reading!

26/07/14 - Films Screened 23/07 at Bluescreen
Big big thanks to everyone who came along to Wednesday's Bluescreen and for sticking it out, as it was a very busy, hot and humid night in the Cube. And also an epic night for films, we screened 20 films and finished just after midnight!
We are sorry to hear that some people had to leave before their film was shown, as we always endeavour to accommodate people if they let us know they need to leave before the end and we do try to show all films brought in on the night.
But as it was so hot and as a lot of people had left, about 11.55 we decided to do a shout out to any filmmakers left in the remaining audience and we ended up just showing their films and calling it a night.
Futurewise, we will update everyone on how long the evening will be, which of course we only know once all the films are in; we do usually do this if we have a lot of films in, not sure why we didn't on Wednesday, think the heat was getting to us too.
So to anyone who didn't have their films screened, please bring them along to September's Bluescreen and we will prioritise them and make sure they get screened first.
So here's what we Screened:
Cube Orchestra re-scored: Off White Box - Michael Page (2010) (5.04mins)
Sun Sex and Socialism – Diana Taylor (16mins)
Get a Proper Job – Rowdy (6.53mins)

Girl Wonder – Pek Chai (8.40mins)
Ace – Charlie Evans (15mins)
Linking Rings – Ella Woollgar (5.43mins)
In Balance – Mayam Anibaba (3mins)
The Invisible School – Hugo Pettitt & Hannah Bailey (18.30mins) Beret – Stephen Dunn (7.50mins)

06/05/14 Films on Memory Sticks?
Good idea/bad idea? We have been thinking about this for a while, screening films from Memory sticks instead of DVDs. May simplify the process of getting films off computers and bringing them to screen at Bluescreen. So at May's event if you want to bring your films along on a Memory stick instead of a DVD then do it! But if you still want to bring it along on DVD then thats cool too.
11/04/14 - May's Bluescreen

So would be great if we can get a lot of people down for an audience shot.
If you are coming and you don't want to be in the filming, then you can hang out in the Cube bar, filming should take no longer than 15mins. Thanks.
13/11/13 - The Film that Buys the (Cube) Cinema - 60 Second Takes Wanted!
Bluescreen are excited to announce that we have been invited to take part in The Film That Buys the Cinema (FTBTC) and what we need from you is a '60 second Take'! Read on...
"FTBTC is a 70 minute art feature film comprised of one-minute takes, no edits. Each minute is shot by contributors who have passed through the Cube and who are special to us: film makers, musicians, poets, amateurs, wrestlers, radicals, community groups and more.
Each contributor's take is 60 seconds long. Each minute will be sequenced together to morph into a labyrinthine journey of light and sound, capturing not only the here and now but the history and future of our very special and deeply loved independent social cinema space.
From the wilfully obscure to the cult, the pop spectrum to the outer limits, from scientists to skaters The Film That Buys the Cinema will be a series of takes on life's rich pageant, bumper to bumper. An artistic time capsule.
Through associated art objects, credits and then exhibition, this film will help raise the final funds needed to buy the actual building the Cube is housed in and secure the plucky Microplex's future"
And Bluescreens part is...
Bluescreen: Contribute a Take
"...1 x 60 second take is open for sourcing. YOU can contribute by sending a take into Cube's very own Bluescreen, the 'Open Screen Independent Walk-in Film Programme' operating since 2001. Bluescreen will pick one of the submitted takes and this will be included in the 70 min feature.
Delivery: Up to 2k resolution (ideally high def) - on tape, USB stick and sent to BLUESCREEN / FTBTC to Cube address: 4 Princess Row, Bristol, UK, BS2 8NQ, or upload to us via wetransfer or similar: [email protected]. Any technical queries please contact [email protected].
IMPORTANT. Only submit material that is unique, able to be used for eternity by the Freehold project and has no strings attached."
DEADLINE for submissions is December 2nd.

A few things of a Bluescreen nature to tell you about and one Bluescreen thing we would like to tell you about but cant.. just yet.. (we are quite excited though and you will be too! We will tell you soon, promise).
The Bluescreen Docu Project
Work on the project is happening! Interviews are being filmed.. and heres a message from Dominic, one of the people involved with the Project... "If anyone would like to get involved you are very welcome. If you have made a film and shown it at Bluescreen we would be interested in interviewing you about that experience." Contact Dominic here: [email protected]
Farewell Dave
We have to bid a sad farewell to Dave, who for the past 18 months has been a vital part of team Bluescreen and has more than likely projected your film at Bluescreen in that period too! He is moving onto pastures new and we wish him all the very best and thank him especially for easing us into the blu-ray era of Bluescreen and thus less DVD issues at screenings! Thanks Dave :)
The next Bluescreen, is actually the last Bluescreen of the year! Nov 20th. Spread the word! Hope you can make it along. http://www.cubecinema.com/cgi-bin/diary/programme.pl?days=92#7158
05/10/13 - Septembers Bluescreen..
After Bluescreen is over films we showed stay with me…Will the superhero fly out of his 2d animation to protect the projected on cardboard city? Would he have saved the fighting couple from their unlovely marriage? Did he speed up and slow down time in Bristol? could he explain the lyrics of the obscure pop song? Was his inspiration the beautiful painted girl?
Beautiful, diverse set of films experimental, animation, pop video, cityscape. Thank you for bringing them. Thank you for coming along and thanks for joining in a discussion and chatting in the bar afterwards.. This is where you hear all about where the films came from; their origins, the serendipity of living below a musician, where the oil paintings are stored.. Bluescreen is the most interesting night.. Thanks again!
The films we showed were
Moving painting. Eva Freeman (3 minutes)
Bigger the front. Sue Elliott (4 minutes 30 seconds)
I’ll give you stag night!. Wayne Lee (14 minutes)
My bristol lapse. Pablo de las Cuevas (4 minutes 55 seconds)

Thank you to everyone who came to bring their films.
You brought a mix of experimental documentary, documentary, drama, music film and art installation. The films were varied and hugely captivating making for a rich and detailed evening of viewing.
Breaking from our usual format we introduced a discussion section. We chose to do this following some interesting discussions in the bar. We thought it would be good to extend this exchange of questions in private conversations to the whole audience. So after the break some filmmakers came to the front of the auditorium where they answered questions about the concepts behind their films and how they had come to make some of their decisions. Many many thanks to Regine, Jez and Dani for doing this and for everyone in the audience who asked their questions. Through this process I feel I learned so much more about the films and filmmakers and it felt very rewarding. Thanks to the Cube Orchestra for the live rescore – it was exciting and dynamic. And thank you to Tom for DJ-ing in the bar.
The next Bluescreen at The Cube is September 25th. See you there.

21/02/13 - The Bluescreen Film idea!
Right then who wants to make a film about Bluescreen!?
Bluescreen has screened literally thousands of films since 2001 and as we enter into our 12th year, maybe the time is right to make a film documenting the enigma that is Bluescreen!
So we are looking for potential documenters. Anyone out there amongst all you good filmmaking folk, want to make a film about Bluescreen? There is a story to be told...
All that history.. the films, the people, the filmmakers, the djs, the
orchestra, the festivals and the Cube Cinema itself!
I'm afraid the Budget = zero. BUT you will have access to the Bluescreen archives, all the people involved past and present and 'back stage' access to future Bluescreens to document behind the scenes etc. You would have editorial control and the only stipulation we will make is that it is under 20 minutes in length. And of course you be able to screen it at Bluescreen and beyond!
There is no timescale for this project, so if anyone is interested or
wanting to know more, just drop us an email at [email protected]

03/11/12 - Bluescreen Halloween - What we Screened
Many thanks to the filmmakers who brought the films along to show last night (31st Oct). We showed seven films most with horror as a theme – and varying from those made on the night (literally) to those made in 1985, Performance art to suspense-filled horror.
Michael Moustafi brought three films all with a horror and music theme. Hysteria, a worm-ridden apple of a music performance was a World Premiere at the Cube.
3AM (Part 2 of a scary trilogy by Lee Matthews and Rachael Groom) built suspense carefully while we held our breath waiting to see our heroine in the spotty dressing gown would cope with the ever-increasing sinister events in her isolated and lonely cottage.
Strange Encounters by Andrew Williams featured ghostly apparitions and time warps in the camera obscura a classic from 1985.
Thriller by Mr Hopkinson featured extreme slo mo of last week’s Bristol Zombie walk – with music by Mr Hopkinson’s computer – this film was compiled on the night.
Alice Vandelev-Booner’s performance art film swimming pools was a beautiful and serene depiction of her interaction with watery landscapes.
Thank you all filmmakers....
Strange Encounters. Andrew Williams. 10 minutes.
Thriller. Me Hopkinson. 5 minutes
3AM. Lee Matthews and Rachel Groom. 10 Minutes.
Little Fingers (Katherine Toy) Michael Moustafi. 4 Minutes.

to the head scratchingly complex thanks to Naren WIlks. We were also treated to some rather fabulous music and some sparkling cinematography too. Thank you all for bringing and showing your films.

Bluescreen is back at The Cube September 19th when we are teaming up with the ENCOUNTERS film festival at the Watershed. It’s likely to be a busy night. We’ll screen up to 180 minutes of short films.

So apologies to Rob Turner, whose film wouldnt work at all. And to the other 3 people whose film fell foul of one of our DVD players. 3 films got "stuck" in the DVD player and we couldnt get them out. Eventually we managed to retrieve and play them (or people had a backup copy) in our other DVD Player. (Always best to bring a backup copy just in case!).
Apart from that it all went swimmingly!
