North East Film Archive

The North East Film Archive, based at Teesside University, save and celebrate the screen heritage of the North East of England. At the heart of their collection are films made by, and for, local people, reflecting and representing the communities, places and distinctive identity of the region. Together with their sister archive in Yorkshire they form the Yorkshire and North East Film Archive, a unique pan-regional resource with over 75,000 moving image artefacts, part of York St John University. They unlock the collections for artists, academics, curators, programmers, researchers, and producers to reveal compelling stories from the vaults. www.yfanefa.com

The North East in Business

Bigger and better is the motto of the North East: businesses build to outstrip European rivals and sporting events are world-class.

After the loss of many crucial industries from the area in the 1980s, the North East began the slow but steady process of rebuilding. Heavy industry was replaced in part by tourism, and overseas manufacturers saw the benefits of operating in the region. However, not all of these developments were long-lived, and the struggle to replace traditional industries with entirely new sources of prosperity continues.
