She remarked, “It’s a huge coup for the region and a brilliant reminder that independent cinemas still play a key role in championing standout storytelling.”
As ticket sales are now live on the Tyneside Cinema website, interest is expected to be high, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for this unique cinematic experience. This event not only highlights the region’s cultural offerings but also supports the vitality of independent cinemas in showcasing exceptional films.
This early screening marks an amazing opportunity for film enthusiasts in the North East to engage with and enjoy a prestigious film that combines mystery and humor, reinforcing the cinema’s role as a cultural hub.
