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 Tyne Slides By

A raw, authentic story of displacement and heartache as seen through the eyes of a child.

Survivors of domestic abuse can often feel there is nowhere to turn and no one to talk to about the experiences they have endured, but for immigrant families who have little or no support network in the UK, the struggle is even greater. It's rare to hear the experience of a child caught up in this turmoil of displacement and fear, sharing their perspective on culture shock and family breakdown.

Unheard Voices

Witness the flashpoints in history when the tide turned against inequality and the North East began to embrace its own rich diversity.

Thanks to its sea coast and relative closeness to Scandinavia, the North East has been a cultural melting pot since before records began. Vikings, Anglo Saxons and merchant sailors from even further afield have brought art, ideas and customs to add to an already rich cultural heritage. However, some perspectives have traditionally been suppressed in a culture which favoured white, Christian, heterosexual conformity. This collection gives a voice to people who have been voiceless for too long.
