For the last six years the Star and Shadow has been a magnet for Newcastle’s independent film-makers, bringing creative people together to make film happen.

Now for the first time the Star and Shadow will host a screening showcasing the work of its in-house studio.

The studio’s output encompasses diverse styles and approaches, but all involved are committed to collaborative, creative film-making that pushes the boundaries of film practice.
