Our special events programme June-August 2009
Stairwell Installation
Monday 29 June – Friday 31 July
Stairwell, Tyneside Cinema, FREE entry
This fantastic installation in the Tyneside Stairwell comes from graphic designer Agata Ryniewicz, who hopes to provoke the question ‘What is film?’ by looking into the different meanings that it has for people. Between Fictions and Reality mixes different genres of film by chopping up pieces of movies in different forms, and combining them with audio and still images through the use of collage. The end result is a series of simple but significant shots crafted to enable people to recreate their own personal memories and stories.

Dir. Anders Ostergaard. Denmark 2008. 1hr 25mins. English and Burmese with English subtitles.
Preview plus Director Q&A Live via satellite
Tuesday 14 July, 8.30pmBuy tickets
Armed with pocket-sized video cameras, a tenacious band of Burmese reporters face down death to expose the repressive regime controlling their country. Compiled from the shaky handheld footage, acclaimed filmmaker Anders Ostergaard’s Burma VJ pulls us into the heat of the moment as the Video-Journalists themselves become the target of the Burmese government. The film plays like a thriller, and is all the more scary because it is entirely real.
Plus Satellite Q&A with the Director Anders Ostergaard and a Representative of the Democratic Voice of Burma TV Station, Denmark.
