The Weird and the Eerie II: Wyrd Albion

Saturday 27th June, 4pm-11pm

Arts Centre Washington, Biddick Lane, NE38 8AB

Join us at Arts Centre Washington this June as we screen some of the most idiosyncratic folk horror films from this green and pleasant land.

Inspired by the late cultural theorist Mark Fisher’s book of the same name, The Weird and the Eerie highlights filmmakers who work outside the bounds of the horror genre to create some of the most original films in contemporary cinema.

Spanning the quietly unsettling, utterly horrifying and outright bizarre, this eclectic programme of films examines our national psyche through the lens of folklore.

Alongside the screenings, we will be joined for performances by Newcastle-based fiddle trio Hyem and County Durham-based experimental guitarist Lucy Valentine.
