The full film can still be seen as part of the exhibition at Hull Maritime Museum until the end of the year. Together with the original Open Bridges film, they are on continual loop during normal opening hours, free entry to the museum.
Have a look at the three minute trailer here:

Open Bridges made history when for the first time all 13 bridges over the River Hull in the UK’s City of Culture 2017 raised, swung or closed simultaneously splitting the city of Hull in two at 20:17 hours on 22nd September 2017. Historic vessels sailed down the river, met by 21st century tugs, to the sound of a new musique concrète work by composer John Stead.
Open Bridges is an independent Hull/East Yorkshire based project.
