In our March update we have news about this month's film. |
 |
The final film of our season is The Hundred-Foot Journey, a superb 2014 British/American comedy-drama, starring Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal, and Charlotte Le Bon. The Hundred-Foot Journey is being shown in The Corn Exchange on Friday 27th March 2015 at 7.30pm and Saturday 28th March 2015 at 7.30pm. It tells the story of a feud between two adjacent restaurants - one operated by a recently-relocated Indian family and the other managed by a French sous chef (Mirren). Hassan Kadam is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. When Hassan and his family, led by Papa, move to a quaint village in the South of France with the grand plan of opening an Indian restaurant in the picturesque countryside, they are undeterred by the fact that only 100 feet opposite stands a Michelin starred classical French restaurant. However upon encountering the icy proprietress, Madame Mallory, the Kadam family realise they may have bitten off more than they can chew. Outraged by the new arrivals, Mallory is determined to have their business shut down. As cultures clash and food flies, an all-out war escalates between the two establishments -- until, that is, Hassan's passion and talent for French cuisine begin to enchant Madame Mallory, and even she can't deny that this young chef could have what it takes to garner even more acclaim for her beloved restaurant. This starts to weave a magic between the two cultures and, despite their different tastes, they discover an unlikely recipe for success that surprises them all. The Hundred-Foot Journey was produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey for DreamWorks Pictures. The film was released in the UK on Friday 5th September 2014, and has received very positive reviews since its release. 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.
