Winner of Five Oscars!

Our next film is Hugo, an adventure drama directed by Martin Scorsese and based on Brian Selznick's novel 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret'. Hugo won five Oscars at the 2012 Academy Awards.

The film tells the story of a 12 year old boy who lives alone in a Paris railway station, the Gare Montparnasse. The film stars Asa Butterfield as Hugo, Chloë Grace Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helen McCrory, Ray Winstone, Emily Mortimer, Jude Law and Christopher Lee.

At the 84th Academy Awards in 2012, Hugo received five Oscars – for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing – and its 11 total nominations, including Best Picture, were the most for the evening.

The film also won two BAFTAs and was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, earning Scorsese his third Golden Globe Award for Best Director.

Hugo was selected for the Royal Film Performance 2011 with a screening at the Odeon, Leicester Square in London on 28 November 2011 in the presence of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, in support of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.

Hugo is being shown in The Corn Exchange on Friday 22nd February 2013 at 7.30pm and Saturday 23rd February 2013 at 7.30pm.

Admission is £6, with tickets available from Brydens Newsagents and at the door on the evening, subject to availabilty.

Our 2012/13 Season

From a quintessential British comedy to an American drama, from an Aardman animation to a charming Martin Scorcese adventure, from a black & white 1920s drama to the latest James Bond movie ..... Something for everyone? We hope so. At the end of last season, we asked our audience to rate the films we showed, and our new season's programme is based on the comments we received. Two of our films – The Artist and Hugo – each won five Oscars this year! Click on the button below each film to read more about them.

About Us

Biggar Little Cinema was founded in February 2011, and is run as a community cinema on a non-profit basis.

As a not-for-profit organisation, our aim is to disburse all the surplus from our screenings as charitable donations, to local organisations and Rotary projects.

We also aim to provide the opportunity for members of an isolated rural community to enjoy good films without having to make a round trip of 60 miles or more to the commercial cinema.

Our films are shown in high-resolution digital quality, and projected using the latest digital equipment on to a full-size cinema screen. To match the exceptional quality of our picture, our sound is Dolby stereo using high definition loudspeakers. The Corn Exchange is well-known as an excellent venue, with very comfortable cinema-style seating and a cosy atmosphere. A full bar is available both before and after each screening, with a lounge area for relaxing and chatting with friends. All in all, Biggar Little Cinema offers a perfect location - and all proceeds go to support local organisations and Rotary projects.
