Wildscreen is the world's largest festival of moving images from the natural world. Established in 1982, Wildscreen is a biennial week long event held in October. Initially it was dedicated to wildlife and natural history programme-making, specifically for television, but today its remit covers all aspects of screen-based natural history communications, including the Internet, interactive media and film formats such as IMAX
Over the years, Bristol has become recognised as the world's capital of wildlife filmmaking. The Festival is an opportunity for people from all around the world to gather in Bristol to discuss technical, editorial and scientific developments in their industry. It brings together, the world's top wildlife and conservation filmmakers, leading environmentalists, scientists, zoologists and commissioning editors, students and newcomers. In 2002 Wildscreen was host to over 500 delegates from 40 different countries.
The Festival offers seminars, screenings, discussions, training workshops, and a trade show as well as providing an arena for delegates and, importantly, it allows the general public to see outstanding natural history films from around the globe on the big screen.
