Christmas Greetings and all good wishes for the New Year!

Winner of the Oscar, the BAFTA and the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film!

Our Christmas film is Brave (Cert U), a 2012 American computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.

Brave is being shown in The Corn Exchange, with a matinee performance on Friday 27th December 2013 at 2.30pm and on Saturday 28th December 2013 at 7.30pm.

In the film, set in the Scottish Highlands, a skilled archer named Merida defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in her kingdom. After consulting a witch for help, Merida accidentally curses her family and is forced to undo the spell herself before it is too late.

It was written by Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, Brenda Chapman, and Irene Mecchi, directed by Andrews and Chapman and co-directed by Purcell.

The film's voice cast features Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, and Robbie Coltrane. To make the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years. It is the first film to use the Dolby Atmos sound format.

Brave premiered on 10 June 2012 at the Seattle International Film Festival, and was released in North America on 22 June 2012 to both highly positive reviews and box office success.

Brave won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Animated Film, the 2013 BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film, and the 2013 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

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

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. So far, with your help, we have raised over £8,400.

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.
