A related initiative is the Tyneside Cinema, which is undergoing a major re-development which includes restoring the 1930s newsreel theatre it is built around and producing a museum-type display on the history of newsreels around. There's information on the project here: http://www.tynecine.org/appeal/redevelopment.php and on the newsreel theatre itself here: http://www.tynecine.org/appeal/the_last_newsreel.php Many thanks for this.

The Oakdale Workmen's Institute, transported brick-by-brick to the museum in 1989, housed a cinema in the 'New Hall'. The re-creation of this cinema in the Lesser Hall (sadly the original was apparently 'too large for the site') opened its doors in 2004. It is hosted by cinema staff in 1930s uniforms, and is simply programmed with a short, silent film called Hen Grefftau Cymru, produced in the 1930s by Sir Ifan ab Owen Edwards.
