Film Hub North is part of the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN). The ambition of Film Forever, the BFI’s plan for 2012-17, is to encourage people to build a lifelong relationship with film, to help build audiences for a broader range of films across all platforms and ensure that film culture can be accessed and enjoyed by everyone across the UK. FAN is at the heart of this; a network coalition of organisations across the UK work together to extend film choice, increase and broaden film audiences, and enhance opportunities for audiences to engage with and learn about film.

Film Hub North is a network of cinemas, cross arts venues, festivals and those working in the exhibition sector in our region that share a commitment to enhancing the opportunities for people to engage with world cinema in all its diversity and to developing the cinema sector across the regions and beyond.

The region covered by Film Hub North is currently Cumbria, Yorkshire, County Durham, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear. In early 2018 Film Hub North’s geography will expand to cover Cheshire, County Durham, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Northumberland, North Lincolnshire, Tyne & Wear and Yorkshire. Showroom Workstation will work in partnership with HOME Manchester and Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle.
