So What Heritage


A planetarium. Ten audience members sit in seats looking up at dome screen filled with abstract colours.

So What Heritage is a two-year collaboration between Beacon Films and Great North Museum, Hancock, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. 

We are seeking creative disabled and neurodivergent people to take part in our project to explore museum collections through film.

In these workshops, we will help you make short films and video art using both mobile devices and professional equipment.

Your films will be inspired by objects you find at the Great North Museum. This is a chance to give new life to old things and share your unique view on heritage.

The videos you make will be shown inside the museum and on social media. This will help more people see and understand heritage from a different perspective.

If you are interested to take part, please email Michelle at getinvolved@beaconfilms.org.uk
