Well known to have had a direct influence on Kubrick's career.

A three day event celebrating USSR culture will take place on Friday July 25 from 7:30pm at the Star and Shadow Cinema in Newcastle upon Tyne. Visitors will not only be able to feast on a range of typical Russian food, including some of the country’s delicacies, a Soviet dance troupe will provide entertainment while others can view an exhibition of Soviet old-timers: a real life Moskvich 408, a car made in USSR in 1966 that stars in the film 'Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution', and the legendary ‘Ushastik’ – big eared Zaporojets ZAZ 968, a car made in USSR in 1971.

Part of the MADE IN USSR event. Based on a true story about a family from Yorkshire who defect to East Germany for a life of Marxist utopia behind the Iron Curtain..? The first screening of Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution will be at 3pm, followed by a Q&A with two stars of the film - Brittany Ashworth (Alex Ratcliffe) and Nigel Betts (Uncle Philip). And if you can't make that screening, we will be showing it again at 7.30pm as part of a more social affair! Come along, hang out, join in and have fun!

This astonishing piece of filmmaking was one of our favourites at the Venice Film Festival last year.

An opportunity to get any old reels of film from the attic and have them carefully projected at the cinema.
