Whitley Bay Film Festival
August & September, 2024.
Launching onto the big screen with the epic musical biopic of Elton John - Rocketman with very special guest, director Dexter Fletcher.
Over the years our festival patron Ian La Frenais has invited a wealth of amazing guests to our humble Geordie film fest and this year is no exception. We are delighted that Ian will be here to share our excitement on the 20th August for the screening of Rocketman as we welcome actor and director Dexter Fletcher for a chat and Q & A.
September events include adventure/thriller The Perfect Storm at The Cullercoats Watch House, Sidney Lumet's satirical drama NETWORK at Tynemouth Social Club and Interview with the Vampire at Seaton Delaval Hall. The Rendezvous Café will be the setting for Sylvain Chromet’s stunning animated comedy feature Belleville Rendezvous and there’ll be a retreat to the country (well…Earsdon) for the evergreen classic that is Withnail and I at Eccles Hall in Earsdon
and that’s not all! ...
more events will be added soon...
