Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1920) + live accompaniment

"The worlds greatest actor in a tremendous story of man at his best and worst!"
John Barrymore stars in what some call "the first American horror movie", giving a typically bravura performance as Hollywoods original and definitive Hyde.

Featuring an original, live soundtrack by Lidan Deng

"Noctambule...Triptych:Act Two" Plus "Film Noir Project" Dual Premiere

A double bill of brand new work from two of Newcastles most distinctive independent filmmakers.plus support from the "Comedy Pick & Mix" crew

Bill & Coo (1948)

When "The Black Menace" strolls onto the streets of Chirpendale, the terrified residents turn to Bill, the brave young taxi puller.

The worlds one and only all avian motion picture. No, you read correctly…this movie is entirely acted by real live birds!

Kicking off a trio of flight related, public domain obscurities, all screened for you, for free.

Conquest Of The Air (1938)

Genuine archive footage, mixed with Korda's reconstructions and featuring Laurence Olivier.

An episodic history of manned flight from the middle ages up to the outbreak of WWII.

Q Planes (1939)

Starring Ralph Richardson as a hyperactive spy and Laurence Olivier as a temperamental young pilot.

Featuring unlikely characters and an improbable plot, with dialogue largely improvised by the cast, this anarchic satire entertains with its tongue planted firmly in its cheek.

The Eagle

Valentino's penultimate film, key to understanding the death cult that swept the world following his death in 1926. Director Clarence Brown is comfortable handling Valentino's sensuality and the sets are awesome.

Riverside (1991) + Documentary Crowd Funding Launch!

Special screening of 'lost' live music film footage from Newcastle's legendary alternative music venue, Riverside, which, had it still been around, would have been celebrating its 27th birthday this week. We will be launching our documentary crowd funding campaign at this event.

Doors 7.30 pm. Crowd funding launch in cinema 8 pm prompt. Film screening follows. Bar until 11 pm.

Part of ¡VAMOS! Festival www.vamosfestival.com

The Tempest + Discussion

“One of the most original and masterly films ever made in Britain.” – THE SUNDAY TIMES. From the very great Derek Jarman.

Makibefo (2001, Dir. Abela) + Director Q&A

Critically-acclaimed as one of the most daring Shakespeare films ever made, Abela’s black-and-white, almost silent, mostly improvised transplantation of ‘the Scottish Play’ to the remote sand-dunes of Madagascar.

Heleno - Uk Premiere

2011 / Brazil / Dir José Henrique Fonseca / Portuguese with English subtitles / DVD

Heleno de Freitas was a Brazilian football legend whose career for Rio’s football team Botafogo shone briefly, but brightly, through the 1940s.

Tromeo And Juliet + Discussion

Lesbianism, explicit sex, grotesque bodies: we’re not in Kansas, or Verona (or Baz Luhrmann’s Verona Beach), anymore! This is a tongue(s)-in-cheek(s), slightly depraved, and highly erotic take on Shakespeare’s classic romance.

Louder Now! "Privilege"

Rainer's 6th feature is a genuinely subversive movie about menopause. Out of a subject that has been denied on film by virtually everybody, Rainer has fashioned a witty, risky work about sexual identity and the unequal economies of race, gender and class.

Evolution Emerging: gigs + official aftershow party!
