Pappa Sven's Nordic Film Club

Pappa Sven's Nordic Film Club brings Nordic cinema to Tower Cinema on King Street, with screenings running on the first Tuesday of every month. It's a regular fixture in the city's cinema calendar rather than a one-off, so if you miss one month, there's another one coming around shortly after.

The club's whole point is to bring the best of Nordic cinema to Newcastle, and they describe it as a way to transport yourself into Nordic life through film. It's not just about the movies themselves, but about the region they come from — the landscapes, the people, and the way of life that shapes the stories. If you've got an interest in Northern Europe, it's a steady way to keep exploring it without having to book a flight.

Because it runs on the first Tuesday of every month, it's easy to work into a routine. You don't have to keep checking for new dates; once you've got the first Tuesday in your head, you know when the next one is coming. It's a good one to keep on your radar for a quiet mid-week night out.

Screenings are at Tower Cinema, 183 King Street, Newcastle, 2300. If you need disabled access, you can arrange that by contacting the operator. The club runs on the first Tuesday of every month, so you'll find it back at the same spot every few weeks.
