Parliamentary candidates are hoping their favourite films will help them win over voters.
Managers at The Forum Cinema, in Hexham, have invited the four candidates for the constituency seat to nominate their favourite films.
The movies will be shown this month and the would-be MPs will be given the chance to give a 15-minute speech before theirs is screened.
The idea comes from the Hexham Community Partnership which runs the cinema and uses the profits to pay for events and other activities in the market town.
Partnership Officer Tamsin Beevor said: "We're hoping it will bring more people into the cinema. But the events are also designed so that more people - particularly young people - will engage with politics in the run-up to the election."
Independent candidate Steven Ford has picked the 1964 comedy Dr Strangelove, which stars Peter Sellers. It will be shown on Sunday, April 25.
