Coastal Explorations Film Premiere

Coastal Explorations presents two films created by young people from North Tyneside and Northumberland, inspired by their home living alongside the spectacular North East coastline.

_______

The Coastal Explorations screening is the culmination of a six-month arts and education project for 90 young artists, who have worked together with creative professionals, including musicians, visual artists, historians and cinematographers, to produce their very own multimedia art-films.

These films are inspired by the North East coast - a place our young artists call home. Their films will explore the land and the sea, showing the people, industry, and nature that has shaped our collective history, present and future. Over the past 6 months, our young filmmakers have lead on creative decisions and have researched, written, animated, performed, recorded, composed and produced their films themselves, supported by our team of artists.

As well as regular creative workshops in schools, our young filmmakers have been on inspiration gathering trips to the Lightvessel 50 in Blyth, Seaton Deleval Hall, and Seaton Sluice's rewilded "Gut".

The Coastal Explorations films shine a light on the rich and sometimes surprising connections between people, places and the natural world, that make the North East such a unique place to live.
