The highly acclaimed shorts have involved thousands of local people and more than 30 schools across the region as part of an artistic community outreach programme.
The films are now available to watch on the council's website by visiting
www.itsmyangel.com and clicking on the multi-media section.
Community engagement has been a big part of the year of celebrations for the Angel and the finished results were hugely well received at a VIP premier screening in the Tyneside Cinema.
Linda Green, cabinet member for culture at Gateshead Council said:
"These remarkable short films really showcase the talents of not just our excellent local artists but also the ordinary people in the community. I think the one thing these films highlight is how much local people have taken the Angel to their hearts and how much it means to the North East as a region.
"This year has been a really exciting celebration of culture, art and community engagement and these short films are a perfect example of this."
Stella Hall, Creative Director of culture10 based at NewcastleGateshead Initiative, said:
"The Angel of the North has done so much to put NewcastleGateshead on the map and to help promote it as a vibrant and cultural place to live. These films powerfully show this, not only revealing the importance of the Angel to local people, but also how it had also sparked their own creativity and passion. It underlines the value of such ambitious public art projects to the cultural life of cities and their residents."
