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

Sunday 5 July, 7.30pm: Ziegfeld Follies (1946)
Directed by Vincente Minnelli - Part of the Decades of Musicals season
We sashay into the 40s with Ziegfeld Follies, a filmic tribute to the great man of stage entertainment and a chance to see Judy Garland, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly united in a film.
There's no real plot to speak of but who cares when you've got a host of stars, extravagant costumes and joyful song 'n' dance numbers? Not to mention a bubble machine!
