Public Programme

The Film Library

The Burr of Berwick Film Library is a community video archive and exhibition series. Open and evolving, the Burr Film Library offers a shared space for screenings, discussions, and creativity.

Based at 22 Bridge Street, the Film Library is open Saturdays 12 – 4pm. The Library also travels to present pop-up events at spaces and occasions around town.

With the potential to speak to personal memories and experiences, the films reflect and respond to real-world topics. Everyone is invited to pop in for a cuppa and share ideas and stories, or delve into the Library’s themes through events and workshops.

Exhibition

An incredible collection of over 2,500 three-minute videos where people discuss what love means to them. Beginning in 1977, the collection continues to expand today with contributions filmed at the 20th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival 2025.
