Amber, 1969, 10 mins The film about the Shields Ferry that started it all off! A gentle, reflective documentary about a gentle, reflective man and a river crossing as brief but evocative as the film itself, Maybe was the student film by Amber founder members Murray Martin and Graham Denman around which the early collective began to develop its approach.

Maybe has now been digitally re-mastered with Screen Heritage UK funding and is being given a DVD release as part of Tyne Documentaries 2. The DVD also includes High Row (1973), about a drift mine near Alston, Six to Midnight (1974), about Newcastle’s Grainger Market and the city’s redevelopment, Quayside (1979), which was part of Amber’s campaign to save Newcastle’s historic river frontage and bonus film Wallsend 72 (1972) which features the Swan Hunter brass band and juvenile jazz band the Rising Sun Legionnaires.

Message: Fantastic nostalgia for a vanished world. My grandfather worked at Vickers and Bob Brown MP visited our house when my dad was involved with the unions at the time... Wonderful. They lost that fight but I am still at heart a Tyneside Shipbuilder, even if I do now live in Canada. Thank you for showing there were once real jobs, not just Mcjobs....

Message: I have sooooo enjoyed watching Byker again.
Side Tv's proving to be compulsive viewing for me.
I'm nearly late for a night out with the lasses!


Please Note: The film will be interrupted if you post.
