6 to Midnight
A day in the life of Newcastle, this is a 17 min film Amber made in 1974. A lot has happened since - to Amber and Newcastle! If you'd like to help crowdfund the film we're making about Newcastle now, go to www.indiegogo.com/mudstar
6 to Midnight was made for Newcastle City Council, who rejected it. 'It might be all right for the Straw Dogs generation,' was one of the councillors' comments - probably the only time an Amber film has been compared to Sam Peckinpah! They're relaxed about it these days - and quite supportive of Amber - but apparently they weren't keen, at the time, on the shots of meat being unloaded on the pavement outside the Grainger Market - and possibly on the number of For Sale/To Let signs on Grey Street.

    I wish the camera would be taken further down the Cloth Market, to show how White Hart Yard is today. My first job from leaving school was in the Yard: C Hall, a wholesale supplier of household items- I remember the Addis sponge floor mop would properly wring out water, unlike the same mops do today! I have to use my hand to squeeze out the water! There was an optical lens manufacturing next door, also Russell, that had an auction sale every Friday if I remember. I think back to those days with great fondness - anyone like me wishes they could find a secret door to the past?

    A wonderfully sentimental stroll down Memory Lane for me there. I was in the fruit game myself for many years at the featured Gateshead Market so it was great to see the hustle and bustle again. On 15 odd minutes there is a Mole Construction truck ,Mr Mole used to come in my fruit shop most weeks or he I would take the produce to his home. (He was a wonderful man) I think the chap with the sideburns on the fruit market is called Colin and he is still portering there to this day.

    You just missed a screenng at Tyneside Cinema. Sorry. It's not available online in its entirety, but you can buy the DVD from the shop on our amber-online website. It's £15 plus p&p. We're redeveloping our website over the next year and will be featuring a free 'film of the month' - it will be one of the works we show.
