The archive has been working with media partners across the region, adding more films to its website, releasing short clips on Facebook and delivering a series of sold-out screenings, creating further access to the film heritage of the region all thanks to support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
From industry to holidays, sport and familiar scenes, the North East on Film CineSecrets initiative has seen more than 230,000 online views of the building of the iconic Tyne Bridge in 1928, trips to the seaside gaining more than 150,000 online views of 1950s visits to Roker Beach and Redcar, and archive footage of the 1984 Great North Run watched by more than 110,000 people.
