“To me, bad taste is what entertainment is all about”
John Waters.

Saw the headline?
Want to go see the movie?

The Riando’s present a ‘back to basics’ media experience. Housed in the 8-week gallery, on Stokes Croft, The Riando’s cinema will present a film of the days headline on the day it came out.

Completely controlled by The Press on the day, this could be from the bizarre, “I Married A Monkey”, to the current big news story, “The Royal Wedding”. The themes within the chosen story will be explored and presented as a short film.

Based on the ethos of John Waters, the DIY concept encourages volunteers from the surrounding community, to take part as an actor, artist or dogsbody, and come together to make something exciting and new within a day. With six different stages to the workday the scripting, editing, filming and organising will all be done under the supervision of The Riando’s, two sisters looking to take film making back to basics and bring the fun and accessibility back to the art form.

The Riando’s film style takes humour and the bizarre, mixing them together to make art that entertains the viewer. Primarily influenced by the likes of John Waters and Pedro Almodovar they are not averse to making themselves look silly and make bad taste look good. Expect bad wigs, heavy make up and an obvious love for the medium of film.

7:30pm is the red carpet Première on each night where you can see the film and the making of documentary accompanied by champagne and sparkling company.

An exciting and fresh new exhibition experience.

For three days only at the Motorcycle showroom Stokes croft.
