Charting the history of television in the North, from first broadcasts to award-winning documentaries and regional news output, the North East Film Archive is back on the film show trail.
A specially-curated screening at the Forum Cinema, Hexham, called TV Comes North, will take place on Saturday, March 18, as part of the 2023 Tyne Valley Film Festival. From the small screen to the big screen, the Archive has delved into its vaults, with a little bit of help from friends at the BBC and ITV Archives, to look back at television programming in the North of England.
The film show is part of a new project TV Time Machine, a collaboration between three Northern archives: the Yorkshire and North East Film Archives and the North West Film Archive, supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery funding on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network.
