Northern Lights at Side
Northern Lights Film Festival runs from Saturday 20 to Saturday 27 March with a great programme of screenings at Side Cinema, the Tyneside, the Gala in Durham and Star & Shadow. The Side Cinema programme sees photographer/filmmaker Tim Hetherington talking about Filming in the War Zone (Sun 21, 1pm, £5/4) and Florrie Darling introducing a preview screening of her Murray Martin Award documentary The Lost Banner (Mon 22, 7pm, FREE). On Tuesday 23, 7pm we're showing George Lazarevski's wonderful documentary Le Jardin de Jad, about the effect of Israel's security wall on an old people's home caught on the wrong side (£5/4). Wednesday 24, 6 to 11pm sees a fantastic Iranian night with Bahman Ghobadi's new film No One Knows About Persian Cats, which explores the dissident music scene in Tehran. There's a live Skype interview with Ghobadi after the film and then, upstairs in Side Cafe, music from some of the film's performers. All this for £10/£8 concs. Book early to avoid disappointment.

No One Knows About Persian Cats
Tuesday 30 March: Under the Skin (18)
Under the Skin
Women Directors: The UK Cut runs from 30th March 2010 until 4th May 2010
A great season of films celebrating the work of contemporary women directors in the UK. Screened, for no good reason, in chronological order, it kicks off with Carine Adler's Under the Skin (1997), followed by Sally Potter's Yes (2005). Andrea 'Fish Tank' Arnold's Red Road (2006), Lisa Gornick's Tick Tock Lullaby (2007) and Kim Longinotto's Rough Aunties (2009) complete the run.
UNDER THE SKIN
(Carine Adler, 1997, 82 mins, 18)
Samantha Morton, who soon after this film gained attention for her role in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown, makes an impressive feature debut in first time writer-director Carine Adler's bittersweet saga about a troubled woman's uneven progress toward self-realization.
