The Tyneside Cinema Feminist Film Club is a monthly screening series that celebrates brilliant films made by women from the history of cinema. This month we present the bold, unsentimental re-working of Virginia Woolf's classic novel Orlando on Thursday 6 June.
A story of the quest for love, Orlando is also an ironic dance through English history starring Quentin Crisp & Tilda Swinton 👑 Addressing contemporary concerns about gender and identity, the film is remarkably true to the spirit of Woolf, but it also skillfully adapts the original story to give it a striking, cinematic form. Don't miss this chance to see this classic on the big screen on 35mm!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Effortlessly charming… As Mean Girls was for teenage girls some 15 years ago, Booksmart feels like a watershed moment for the next generation.” - Little White Lies
Booksmart is pretty much as good as high school movies get - as quotable as Mean Girls, as sweet as The Edge of Seventeen and as filthy as Superbad – but where it really stands out is in its smart subversion of teen cliché and diverse cast. Brilliant performances make for an achingly accurate portrayal of female friendship and a cracking soundtrack seals the deal. We think it's a future coming of age classic in the making 👌

"An intimate character portrait of a fascinating, unique & complex woman, a true rebel and outsider" - BFI
After instigating the largest of leak of secrets in US history - when she disclosed 750,000 documents to Wikileaks - ex-soldier and trans woman Chelsea Manning was supposed to spend most of the rest of her life behind bars in an all-male military prison. But on January 17 2017, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence, in an unprecedented and controversial move that ...divided the United States and the world. Seen by some in her country as a traitor and by others as a heroine (her leak exposed illegal practices of torture engaged in by the US military, as well as the unreported deaths of 150,000 civilians), Manning is a polarising figure.
XY Chelsea follows Chelsea Manning as she leaves prison after seven years inside, and begins a new life, whilst at the same time having to deal with the far-reaching consequences of her past. Catch this compelling documentary on our screens from Friday 🎫👉 https://buff.ly/2WiHJTO
