Take Me To The River
Part of North of the Tyne, Under the Stars produced by Pinwheel and DAT Events and commissioned by the North of Tyne Combined Authority
A new video-mapping project created for North of the Tyne, Under the Stars – a free outdoor festival of projection, magic and storytelling, inspired by local stories and landscapes from across Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside.
Join us on a multimedia adventure, from the Scottish border to the banks of the Tyne. Take Me To The River tells a powerful, punchy tale of northeast spirit and playful perseverance, inspired by local history and the stories that stay with us.
A single child makes their way through forests, towns and shorelines, against a backdrop of moving time. Along the way they gather an ever-growing bunch of children and creatures, all set on having a splash about in the Tyne.
Animation, a brass band score and archive film footage provided by Yorkshire and North East Film all combine in this fun film projection about a community coming together and the determination to have a good time.
