Nautilus is a sub-aquatic, wooded glen, hidden away at the periphery of the festival; an intimate space away from the throng of the main site. Bristol Experimental Expanded Film (BEEF) artists and friends come together to showcase an expanded programme of experimental performances and submerged wonders taking in music, film, sound, workshops,collaborations, conversations, cocktails and good times.

Nautilus is the third iteration of the BEEF Shed at Supernormal, each named in homage to the charismatic Cephalopod family whose prepossessing visual forms, atypical communication methods and adaptive camouflage capabilities make these curious creatures the perfect BEEF ally.

Nautilus is a hidden gem just off the back right-handside of the campsite (behind the loos!);  be sure to seek it out!

This year we are delighted to host this mighty line up….
