Feeding Bristol’s film industry
Sometimes referred to as Green Hollywood, Bristol is home to the BBC Natural History Unit, which has produced acclaimed nature documentaries such as Planet Earth and Blue Planet. The city’s picturesque streets, historic harbourside, and surrounding countryside have also made Bristol a popular filming location for both period dramas and contemporary series.
A thriving network of studios, production companies, post-production facilities, and skilled freelancers contributes to Bristol’s film & tv ecosystem. Annual events like the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival highlight Bristol’s commitment to nurturing talent and innovation. Furthermore, the city’s status as a UNESCO City of Film reflects its ongoing significance.
