This screening of The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) is sponsored by Chrysalis Club, as part of Tyne Valley Film Festival and will run as a Dementia Friendly Screening.
A fresh and distinctive take on Charles Dickens’ semi-autobiographical masterpiece, The Personal History of David Copperfield, set in the 1840s, chronicles the life of its iconic title character as he navigates a chaotic world to find his elusive place within it. From his unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller and writer, David’s journey is by turns hilarious and tragic, but always full of life, colour and humanity.
Our Dementia Friendly Screenings are designed for people living with Dementia and their carers, or for anyone who would benefit from a relaxed cinema environment, but all are welcome.
Providing a comfortable and welcoming environment, we turn the sound down a notch, keep the lights on low and encourage people to come and go as they want with unallocated seating.
Led by Forum Cinema Hexham, Tyne Valley Film Festival is a community programmed film festival consisting of 29 screenings across 13 unique venues in the Tyne Valley.
