20th Century Flicks video rental shop was founded in 1982 in the Redland district of Bristol, before relocating to the nearby Clifton district. On 31st October 2014 the shop moved to its present location at Christmas Steps, just off the city centre.

Almost immediately, the 11-seat Kino was opened, using seats obtained from the nearby Hippodrome Theatre. This was followed, a while later, by the similarly furnished 18-seat Videodrome. Both auditoria are available for private hire, and provide income which usefully supports the rental business. The shop has a library of over 20,000 titles, including an extensive VHS range which is stored in the Videodrome.

Bristol Bad Film Club was set up in 2013 to screen films that are so-bad-they’re-great, cult classics that are rarely shown, movies with notorious reputations and classics from our childhood that no-one else seems to have heard of.

All profits from their events go towards a selected charity or fundraising effort each month.
