Two-day event will take place at the Tyneside Cinema.

BFI film hubs North, North West Central and Scotland are to host a two-day conference on trends in exhibition at the Tyneside Cinema.

This Way Up: Exhibition Innovation (Dec 2-3) will see the launch of fund This Way Up: Exhibition Innovation Fund, worth a total of £50,000, which is open to members from Film Hubs North, North West Central and Scotland. 

Up to three projects will be awarded funding to build and develop audiences for specialised films. Projects will be presented in front of a panel of industry experts and peers at the December event, with decisions being announced on the day.

The annual event is set to move between the host Film Hub partners. HOME in Manchester will host the 2015 event, followed by an event in Scotland in 2016.
