Sci-Screen is a programme of films being shown at Tyneside Cinema, shedding insights into the science behind popular film plots. The project was originally organised by Ideas Take Flight, Newcastle University’s regional campaign for gathering ideas, thoughts and questions from the public in order to help shape the British Science Festival 2013.

Each screening includes introductions to and discussions on relevant scientific ideas, delivered by the lecturer, scientist or researcher who selected that particular film.

The 2015 season of SciScreen will kick off with “The Diving Bell And The Butterfly” screening on 25th January 2015. The movie deals tells a story of a victim of a locked-in syndrome and will feature a talk from Dr Neil Archibald, a consultant neurologist, who will be discussing locked-in-syndrome which affected the main character.
