Artists’ Film Labs

Artists’ Film Labs

From Film Collectives to Community Journalism

Saturday 30 August 2025 • 2 – 4pm • 22 Bridge Street

A free workshop exploring collective approaches to media production, followed by the opening of the next Film Library exhibition.



From April 2025, The Burr of Berwick will hold regular film meetups where we will watch and discuss moving image work by group members and invited guests.

The informal meetings are a chance to connect with peers, to discuss, and develop your creative practice with a leaning toward artists’ film and screen-based work.

Artists film lab is free and open to all. Although our initial focus is on those living and working in the Northumberland and Tyneside area, our hybrid format (online and in-person) enables us to connect with people across the UK.
