Tynemouth Video Film-Making Group started many years ago as the Cine section of Tynemouth Photographic Society and is still part of the society. The group progressed through various film formats until the advent of video, hence the name change. 2009 was our 50th Year. We are a member of NERIAC - the North East Region of the IAC (the Film & Video Institute), and of NECA (a body representing five Video Clubs in North East England).
We meet every Monday from the start of October until the end of April at 7.30pm at Camera House in Front Street Tynemouth (above the library) in North Tyneside. (Click to see map)
The club has a wide and varied programme, which includes talks from professionals, visiting clubs, practical nights, members nights, competitions, outings and more.
The Group's continuing aim is to help and encourage existing and new members to enjoy making movies which would also be appreciated by friends and relations etc.
If you have a camcorder and are interested in making more of your holiday, family, documentary or story films then why not come along or contact us.

TYNEMOUTH HOST 2017 NECA ANNUAL COMPETITION An audience of about 25 were present when we hosted the NECA Annual 'Open' Competition on 27th November. The competition had been judged by Reg & Annabelle Lancaster, both FACI, from the South East Region of the IAC. All fourteen entries were screened and provided a varied programme for those present. Runner-up in the competition was Tynemouth's own Trevor Ermel with his entry 'Bell Ringers of North Shields', a documentary shot in Christ Church, North Shields showing the resident bell ringers in action, with explanatory interviews from two of their members. He was awarded a certificate and cash prize by the NECA chairman, Brian Dunckley. The overall winner was former Newcastle ACA member Doug Collender with a documentary covering the rise of amateur film-making from its earliest days. Unfortunately Doug was not present to receive his award. |
