After welcoming famous faces including Christopher Eccleston and Brenda Blethyn, we’re thrilled to welcome the minds behind one of the nation’s most beloved publications – generation-defining comic Viz – to the Tyneside.
Chris and Simon Donald will sit down with local legend, comedian and actor Dave Johns (I, Daniel Blake) to reveal the movies they simply couldn’t live without. Expect personal stories, behind-the-scenes secrets and the duo’s hand-picked clips from their all-time favourite films.
More than just a conversation, Super 8 Flicks invites you to experience the films that inspire the stars, on the big screen, and hear why these cinematic moments hold a special place in their hearts.
This event directly raises funds to support The Tyneside Talent Unit, which supports young people from working-class backgrounds in breaking into the film and television industries.
