As part of October’s WOW North EastFestival at Gala Durham and across the region, WOW - Women of the World and ARC, Stockton present a special screening of Motherboard, the latest work from BAFTA-winning filmmaker Victoria Mapplebeck. Both inventive and deeply personal, Motherboard is a beautiful portrait of motherhood, exploring its joys, challenges, and contradictions while also interrogating the ways technology shapes memory and family life.

This event takes place as part of the first ever WOW North East Festival. Founded in 2010, more than 150 WOW Festivals and events have now taken place in 71 locations across the world, and 2025 marks the first ever WOW Festival in the North East! Don’t miss the WOW North East Festival Day on Saturday 18 October at Gala Durham, a day full of powerful conversations, joyful workshops and unforgettable performances.

WOW North East is presented by S&DR200 and WOW - Women of the World. S&DR200 events are delivered by Darlington Borough Council, Durham County Council and Stockton-on Tees Borough Council, with support from North East Combined Authority.
