A show celebrating the world of cinema, produced by student members of the CineClub at the University of Sunderland
CineClub began over 25 years ago in Priestman Building, which is now home to our Art, Design and Performance courses. Back then, lecturers would choose a film for everyone to watch, before leading a group discussion – a bit like a class seminar. When teaching for the Film and Media course moved to the David Puttnam Media Centre at the Sir Tom Cowie Campus, so did CineClub. The films could then be shown in our 200-seater cinema, recreating the experience of how the films were intended to be viewed. Along with the change in venue, there was also a change of ethos, with the new CineClub becoming more democratic; any member – staff or student – could suggest and present a film. The group discussion was still an important part of the club, but with a more relaxed feel – sometimes discussions would carry on in the pub afterwards! In 2024 we have a new cinema and a new podcast.
