The St Mary’s Documentary Short Film Festival celebrates the work of the Amber Film and Photography Collective, with a four-day festival offering film and history buffs the chance to see some seldom-seen documentary films made during the 1970’s. The films focus on the industry of the Tyne and the people who made their living there.
Each film will be introduced by a member of the Amber Collective who will give a short talk to explain the background to the film, the process of documentary filmmaking, and Amber as an organisation. Films to be shown include:
Launch (1973) - Tuesday 26 January, 7pm
Bowes Line (1975) - Wednesday 27 January, 7pm
Last Shift (1976) - Thursday 28 January, 7pm
Glassworks (1977) - Friday 29 January, 7pm
