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

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: BUILDING FESTIVAL 2010

 

1ST AUGUST - 14TH AUGUST. 10AM-WHENEVER


Every two years we have a big building festival.  The building was set up with one in fact, in April 2006. This time is special because we are on the cusp of signing a new lease, so it seems right to celebrate by doing some choice rennovations to the cinema. 

This means both some quite mundane things, but also things that might pop into your head, like "If only the Star and Shadow had a spa and sauna area".  Nothing is too outrageous for at least a discussion.  High visibility jackets, hard hats and hobnail boots will be the new seasons fashion for those two weeks.  Prizes for whoever can wear theirs the longest. 

This festival is about sharing skills, about installing abit of yourself in the S&S inspiration, and about having some tasty food at lunch and maybe dinner time with a film or some sort of cultural interlude in the evening and just having a great time.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!!
PLEASE COME ALONG.  BRING TOOLS WITH YOUR NAME ON.  COME WITH SKILLS TO LEARN OR SKILLS TO PASS ON.


COMING SOON....

WED 9 SEPT - SUN 3 OCT: NEW ART FILM SEASON: THE GLASS DELUSION

‘The Glass Delusion’ is an artists’ film programme organised in association with the National Glass Centre, to coincide with the exhibition of the same name (until the 3rd of October).

‘The Glass Delusion’ was the name given in the late Middle Ages and Baroque times to a form of depression. The syndrome evokes a psychological separation between reality and imagination. Sufferers were obsessive, compulsive, driven by irrational fears and envisioned themselves to be made of glass, hence delicate and vulnerable to scrutiny.

The events at the Star and Shadow feature artists who use film to investigate altered mental states. All three nights are absorbing experimental excursions into the potential of film for psychological exploration.

3 nights programmed:

Wed 29 Sept, 7.30pm: Film: Sally Golding and Kerry Laitala

Thu 30 Sept, 8pm: Film: Paul Sharits (1966 - 1976)

Sun 3 October, 7.30pm: Film: Invisible Adversaries (1976)
