This month Mark Cosgrove, Watershed Cinema Curator, talks about The Impact of Conflict and discusses the Playable City with Watershed Producer Hilary O'Shaugnessy. Mark discusses how film and filmmakers have and do address The Impact of Conflict, in particular in relation to new cinema release Selma. Selma is a gripping drama that focus on Martin Luther King in a vivid retelling of the months leading up to the historic 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, that would secure voting rights for African Americans - a story that resonates with contemporary American events and screens this month at Watershed. Hilary talks about the notion of the Playable City and Watershed's past successes in making Bristol recognised as the original Playable City and upcoming Playable City activity in 2015.
