Overview on Tyneside Cinema

By Jissie


It is different from all kinds of cinemas that I have been before. I heard about Tyneside Cinema because of the famous Japanese film “Arrietty”.

It was a surprise to me that the film will be released in this cinema. As a big fan of director Miyazaki Hayao, I visited the cinema in Newcastle city centre with excitement and curiosity.

Tyneside Cinema the city's only full-time independent cultural cinema shows films all day every day. The most important feature of the cinema is the films, which are worldwide compare with America-oriented in traditional cinemas.
Different Screen
Another difference from any other traditional cinema is that there are more than one type of screen in the cinema including the classic, the Electra and the Roxy.

The classic is the beautiful art deco screen, which rebuild from a news theatre screen. Currently, it is the heart of the Tyneside Cinema.

Beside, the Electra stadium boasting seating and a little touch of history with amazing mural is a great place for conference and presentation. The Roxy, with green seats beside the Tyneside bar, is a comfortable place for a auditorium and reception-based event.

Social Life

It is not only about watching films in Tyneside cinema, people can hire and hold private or business party here as well. That makes the cinema as a place for social life in the city.

People will not disappoint to have fun here, as there is a bar inside the cinema with live music and craft fairs.

Coffee rooms opened on second floor with beautiful surroundings offers customs a great place to have some food after a 2-hour film in the evening. It seems great for people who want to spend the whole evening in one place.

Learning
Cinema is not a bad choice for dating, but here is another feature in Tyneside Cinema, it seems an opportunity for the family to have fun, as something special here for kids. There are special programs for baby weekly, and films for school children.

Even for colleges, there are programming workshops designed to get students thinking about audiences and institutions. They'll look at how cinemas get the films they screen, and why they choose the ones they do, as well as the practicalities involved in getting people to keep on coming back.

Heritage Displays
Not only films tell story, but also a broad range of heritage displays in the cinema showing the history of the cinema.
