Music Video Preservation Society is an event that highlights the astonishing creativity and cultural influence of music videos through the decades, with an eclectic programme featuring some of the most iconic and visually inventive pop promos ever made, spanning from the 1970s to the 2020s.
MVPS host David Knight, the country’s foremost music video commentator, will host the inaugural meeting of Music Video Preservation Society at the Tyneside, providing the background and context to a selection that throws a spotlight upon the British directors and musicians who pioneered the artform in the late 70s and early 80s, revisits the MTV-fuelled explosion of creativity in the 90s, and shows how music videos continue to make an impact In the social media age.
And for MVPS’s first visit to the Tyneside Cinema, following a run of sellout meetings in London, there’s also a focus on Newcastle and the North East’s contribution to music video history – on both sides of the camera.
Inspiring, informative, joyful and jawdropping – and quite nostalgic too – we will be giving some great music videos the big screen treatment they deserve on May 14th. So don’t miss it.
