A new film made from more than 100 fragments of archive film featuring many places in Newcastle and across the North East was released earlier this week, and is available for view online. You can watch the film trailer here.
Yorkshire Silent Film Festival is releasing Echoes of the North; Four Chapters in Time for a limited period following its premiere in Morecambe last month. This new silent film with an original brass score will transport viewers back to Northern England a century ago.
Echoes of the North has been created in partnership with North East Film Archive, Yorkshire Film Archive, North West Film Archive, and London’s Archive Film Agency, and is edited by Andy Burns. It takes viewers down the highways and byways of northern life in the early 20th century - its industries and rural life, its wartimes and festivals, its holidays, family excursions and huge, city-wide occasions.
