About the Film Library

The Burr Film Library highlights underrepresented voices and the power of portable video to amplify unheard stories.

Currently based at ‘The Burr’ on 22 Bridge Street, open Saturdays 12-4pm, the library has a selection of films which changes every 4 months. We also occasionally hold ‘pop-up’ libraries hosted by partner organisations and in public spaces.

We welcome your ideas and contributions for films local and otherwise which would make interesting additions to the library. You can view films on our tablets and on the large flatscreen, we also have a selection of related books and printed material.

Sit down, have a browse, a cuppa and a chat with our friendly hosts.

There will be opportunities to get involved with filmmaking and taking the power of video into your own hands, as well as guest filmmakers, artists and community members who will share their experiences, at our ‘Artist’s Labs’ and events.

What’s On Now

The current library is Endless Love Tapes by Wendy Clarke and Kim Coleman: a collection of over 2,500 videos capturing diverse perspectives on love since 1977. At the 20th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, Clarke collaborated with artist Kim Coleman on Endless Love Tapes – continuing the evolution of the collection through a new series of Love Tapes made in Berwick, and screened on the final night of the Festival. The project continues locally until 19 July 2025 in The Burr.
