Side Gallery
Introduction
Since opening in 1977, the gallery's been committed to documentary in the tradition of the concerned photographer - our own production/commissions in the North of England and the historical and contemporary work from around the world, which continues to inspire us. Talks are organised around most of the exhibitions. The gallery sells a range of photography books, posters, postcards and prints, along with Amber films on DVD. It is open Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11am to 5pm and admission is FREE. It's closed on bank holidays and during exhibition changeover weeks.

Amber on the Road
January 2012 sees Amber - and in particular the films and photographs of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen - celebrated in Finland. Helsinki's DocPoint festival is screening Byker and Today I'm With You on January 25, The Writing in the Sand and Letters to Katja on January 27. Alongside these screenings, from January 24 to February 4, the Helsinki gallery Laterna Magica is exhibiting Captured in Amber, a retrospective of Sirkka's photographs (25 prints, drawing on Byker, Writing in the Sand, My Finnish Roots and Byker Revisited). Crossing the Gulf of Finland to Estonia, DocPoint Tallinn is screening The Writing in the Sand on January 27.
Meanwhile, moving on to France, February 8 will see screenings of Byker, Today I'm With You and The Pursuit of Happiness at Ecrans Britanniques in Nimes. From January 31 to February 25 the festival is exhibiting Sirkka's retrospective Captured in Amber (60 prints - Byker, Writing in the Sand and Byker Revisited) at Carre d'Art in Nimes. And then, from March 16 to 25, just up the road from Nimes, the Ales Film Festival will be exhibiting Captured in Amber whilst screening Byker, Today I'm With You and The Writing in the Sand. And in the USA... The Writing in the Sand is being screened at The Goethe Institute in Washington DC on March 12 and at San Francisco's Goethe Institute between May 18 and 20!
