Production Guild of Great Britain Members have access to 10% off a limited number of Industry Passes for the 2025 edition of Bristol Encounters Film Festival, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Encounters is a globally renowned short film festival that takes place each September on the beautiful harbourside in Bristol, a UNESCO City of Film. Encounters is a qualifying festival for BAFTA, BIFA and the European Film Awards.
Bristol’s spirit of radical independence is the foundation for an accessible and welcoming festival. Forget exclusive parties and formal black-tie events, at Encounters everyone comes together for one shared passion: film.
Founded in 1995 to mark the centenary of cinema, the festival has grown to showcase thousands of bold, boundary-pushing works and supported emerging talent. Alumni include visionary filmmakers Denis Villeneuve, Lynne Ramsay, Rungano Nyoni, Julia Ducournau, Charlotte Wells, Ruben Östlund, Joachim Trier, Molly Manning-Walker, Radu Jude and many more.
