Resistance. The power to oppose. The ability to withstand. An act of survival, struggle, subversion, transgression.

The Compass of Resistance takes us on a cinematic journey across the globe, presenting five cultural reference points from which we can explore the parameters of ‘resistance’ in international film. In venues across the city of Bristol this series of encounters, dialogues, events and screenings will allow us a rare, fresh and innovative look at the notion of ‘resistance’, its meanings and its implications.
