About
our Films
We
conducted a detailed audience survey at the end of our first full
season, asking viewers which of our films they had especially
enjoyed, and the type of film they would like to see in the future.
We
have been informed by these comments, and have borne them in mind
when selecting titles for our screenings. Hence, our objectives
are to choose up-to-date films, many of them award winners, with
a wide audience appeal, as well as films which we believe offer
something a little unusual, and hence of special interest to cinemagoers.
We
have six superb films for our new season which commences in October
- from a comedy drama to an action movie, from a space story with
a twist to a harrowing tale of post-war trauma, from a touching
story of family quest to an uplifting true story of a man's fight
for freedom.
Four
of our films won Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes in 2014. Four
of our films are British produced or directed.

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 £9,300.
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.
