Film at The Hearth
We’re a start up film club operating out of and in association with the The Hearth Arts Centre, in Horsley Northumberland. Our mission is to provide cinematic entertainment and social interaction for members of our local rural community, as well as for visitors to the area and venue. We plan on running a program of films that will showcase the best of modern, classic, British and world cinema in an accessible venue. Our program will offer a choice for members of our community to see films in a communal setting and on the big screen that they would otherwise not be able to access in this way. As a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation, our goal is simply to share our love of film with our community.

Synopsis
FILM AT THE HEARTH presents... OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH (PG)
(With Rockpool School marine workshops before the screening)
OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH takes viewers on a breathtaking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean.
The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.
Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

Aliens – 40th Anniversary Special
27-06-2026 at 19:00
Certificate:
Synopsis
From the BFI: "James Cameron’s follow up to Ridley Scott’s masterpiece is more than a worthy sequel.... Wisely steering clear of the horror genre that made Scott’s original so unique, Cameron’s action blockbuster is a breathlessly kinetic and stunningly realised war movie."
Additional Info
This June we close out our 1st season with a classic summer blockbuster, celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year!
We're really excited to be hosting a rare big-screen showing of the Special Directors Edition of Aliens, in all it's nerve-jangling, white knuckle glory.
And we're really excited to welcome NEIL COLE of the Museum of Classic Sci-fi in Allendale, who'll be bringing along an original xenomorph prop from the movie from their amazing collection of sci-fi film and tv history!
Game Over, Man!!

Local Hero
12-09-2026 at 18:45
Certificate:
Synopsis
About the film, text taken from The Criterion Collection:
Bill Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this delightfully eccentric culture-clash comedy. Riffing on popular representations of Scottish life and folklore, Local Hero follows the Texas oil executive Mac (Peter Riegert), who is dispatched by his crackpot boss (Burt Lancaster) to a remote seaside village in Scotland with orders to buy out the town and develop the region for an oil refinery. But as business mixes with pleasure, Mac finds himself enchanted by both the picturesque community and its oddball denizens—and Texas starts to feel awfully far away. Packed with a near nonstop stream of droll one-liners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cult hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of small-town life with the satirical verve of a latter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sly commentary on conservation, corporate greed, and the legacies we leave behind.
Additional Info
Join us on Saturday 12th September as Film at The Hearth presents the beloved Scottish classic Local Hero – with live music before the film to help set the scene.
Warm, funny and endlessly charming, Local Hero tells the story of an American businessman sent to a remote coastal village, only to discover that some places are worth far more than money can buy. Featuring stunning scenery, unforgettable characters and the iconic soundtrack by Mark Knopfler, it's a film that celebrates community, belonging and the beauty of Britain's rural landscapes.
To make the evening even more memorable, we'll be welcoming live musicians before the screening, performing music inspired by the film and its setting.
