They are bold expressions of creativity delivered in short film form.

The people behind Random Acts

Random Acts is a partnership between Arts Council England and Channel Four. The Arts Council has appointed five Random Acts Network Centres across England that offer education, training and production support for 16-24 year olds working in a diverse range of art forms to create short films designed for inclusion as part of the Random Acts strand on television and online. Tyneside Cinema is the lead organisation for Random Acts Centre North, working in partnership with a wide range of organisations to enable young people to access this opportunity.
