…A visual journey through the history of the people and places of Newcastle caught on celluloid over the last century.

Selected from the remarkable collection of films in the vaults of the North East Film Archive this specially curated, entertaining, film show reveals a fascinating portrait of the local area. From home movies, local documentaries and Tyne Tees Television productions, featuring the building of the Tyne bridge, swinging 60s Newcastle and daytrips out to the coast, the films capture the changing landscape, industries, sights, sounds, faces and places of Newcastle. This screening is brought to you by the North East Film Archive, as part of their North East on Film project, connecting the people and communities of the region with their film heritage, through special screenings and events and online activities. Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
