Join us, as part of the Tyne Valley Film Festival for this special screening of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen’s film Byker - a partly dramatised documentary built around Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen’s photographs of the Newcastle terraced community, demolished to make way for the Byker Wall. 

Byker is an intimate portrait of a community faced with redevelopment and a celebration of the richness of its culture, evoking an entire era in British working-class life. 

This screening is presented by Ovingham Reading Room Film Night and is supported by additional short films from the Young Women’s Film Academy.

Tickets can be bought on the door.
