In our January update we have news about this month's film. Please note that tickets are now available from Hamiltons Newsagents. |

Our first film for 2015 is The Railway Man, an acclaimed British production released in the UK in 2014 and starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman. The Railway Man is being shown in The Corn Exchange on Friday 30th January 2015 at 7.30pm and Saturday 31st January 2015 at 7.30pm. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, the film is an adaptation of the bestselling autobiography of the same name by Eric Lomax, and also stars Jeremy Irvine, Hiroyuki Sanada and Stellan Skarsgård. Much of the filming took place at various locations in Scotland. During World War II, Eric Lomax (Irvine) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese in Singapore and sent to a POW camp, where he is forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. During his time in the camp, Lomax is tortured by the Kempetai, primarily for building a radio. Years later, and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, with the help of his wife Patti (Kidman) and best friend Finlay (Skarsgård), Lomax (Firth) decides to find and confront one of his captors. He returns to the scene of his torture after he has tracked down Japanese officer Takashi Nagase (Sanada) "in an attempt let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate". Please click on the poster opposite for more information about the film. Admission is £6, with tickets available from Hamiltons 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 £11,860. 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.
