The Tyneside Film Clubs

With two Film Clubs, a daytime and an evening, each are a broad mix of people from all backgrounds and ages with a shared love of cinema.

There is no fee, no signup, and no memberships. Everyone is welcome to join freely, with no requirements to contact the chairs before attending.

If you would like to find out more about the Tyneside Film Clubs, contact tynesidefilmclubs@gmail.com.

The Daytime Film Club meets weekly on a Thursday at 2pm.

• Operates like a book club, in that each week the club select a film to discuss at the following Thursday meeting.
• Watch the film in your own time and join the meeting to discuss it alongside any other films attendees have seen over the past week.
• Meetings last around an hour.
• Some members opt to submit reviews to the chair, Philip, prior to the meeting which are then circulated after the meeting.

The Evening Film Club meets weekly on a Thursday at 7pm.

• Each meeting alternates between in person and online, see the schedule here to check if it’s online or in person on each date in 2025. Email tynesidefilmclubs@gmail.com to request a link for the online meeting.
• There isn’t an assigned film to watch each week, instead it’s a discussion around what films attendees have seen that week – skewing towards new arthouse and world cinema but sometimes covering classics.
• Meetings last around an hour.
• There is no waiting list and no process for joining – you just turn up whenever you like.
• Friendly and informal vibes, no need to prepare anything.
