A Tyne Valley Film Festival screening. See our full programme here.

Hinter: An Apocalypse is a film rooted in the history, both recent and ancient, of the area surrounding Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, the northernmost county in England. Questioning the nature of enclosure and land ownership, the piece traces a common thread of self-destruction from the colonial project, stretching back to the Roman Empire, to the acts of ecological vandalism which take place on both large and small scales in the present day.

Seeking to encapsulate this quiet landscape that is at the same time a teeming repository of stories, violence, politics, and existential lessons, Hinter functions as both an elegy for an ancient tree and a protest against human rapaciousness and abuse of power.

A film by Matthew Burdis, written by Rachel Chanter, narrated by Claire Rodgerson (The Old Oak) with an original score by Barry Hyde (The Futureheads).

Tickets to this screening are just £3 or free when booked with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
