The Big Picture

The Big Picture uncovers the untold story of a state-of-the-art cinema quietly forgotten in the center of Bristol, a vibrant UK city known for its countercultural spirit. Once a cutting-edge IMAX theatre, the building was abandoned for over a decade—until a collective of cinephiles reclaimed it. Blending DIY ingenuity with punk ethos, they’ve transformed a forgotten relic into the beating heart of a grassroots cinema movement—reviving not just a building, but a shared vision of what cinema can be.

End of the Line

Over the past 15 years, the Dykstra family has built and maintained a whimsical and immersive train layout in their basement. Despite the intergenerational bonds that have been cultivated by this shared fascination, the decline of interest and aging demographics threaten the model railroading hobby this family holds so dear.
