A social-cinema-art-docu feature film, The Film That Buys The Cinema (FTBTC) was born out of a very pressing concern: to secure the future of an 108 seat, completely independent Microplex Cinema in Bristol, England. This part of its mission was achieved, now it has a life of its own as a fully-fledged film being screened across the globe. The FTBTC is a 70-minute film comprised of uncut one-minute takes, each one shot by a bewildering list of contributors, each whom have a wildly different relationship with this unique art-bunker.

The film features contribitions from amongst many: Portishead / Liz Harris (Grouper) / Peter Strickland / Ben Rivers / Nicolas Roeg / Coral Short / Chris Petit / Tony Grisoni & Oona Grimes / David Blandy / Andrea Luka Zimmerman / Jennett Thomas / Steven Eastwood / Josephine Foster / Thought Forms / Paul Kelly / Jem Cohen / Bill Morrison / Eric Chenaux / Jandek / Andrew Kotting / Semiconductor / François & Rozi Plain / Leyland Kirby / Mark Cousins / Goodiepal / Craig Baldwin.
