After unmissable events with famous faces including Christopher Eccleston and Brenda Blethyn, we’re delighted to welcome the brilliant Julie Hesmondhalgh to the Tyneside – star of Broadchurch, Mr. Bates vs The Post Office and Happy Valley, and soap icon for her acclaimed role as Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street.
Julie will sit down with local legend, comedian and actor Dave Johns (I, Daniel Blake) to reveal the movies she simply couldn’t live without. Expect personal stories, behind-the-scenes secrets and hand-picked clips from her 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.
