At the Star and Shadow Cinema, we programme films, gigs, live art and exhibitions.
Anything that we believe that is new, different, underground, original, and we hope, good.
We show films every Thursday and Sunday night, at 7.30pm.
Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are open to any other kind of event, including films.
On Mondays and Tuesdays the cinema is closed, except for meetings.
The Star and Shadow Cinema is entirely run by volunteers, from film programming and projecting, to mopping, to gig organising and promotion, or the ever entertaining accountancy work.
In Byker/Ouseburn; in front of the Tanners Pub. Metro: Manors; Buses: 12, 22, 39, 40, 62, 63, 106, 301, 302
