Christmas Greetings from Biggar Little Cinema! |

Our December film is Paddington, a British comedy film, directed by Paul King, written by King and Hamish McColl, and produced by David Heyman. Based on 'Paddington Bear' by Michael Bond, the film stars Ben Whishaw as the voice of the title character, along with Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, and Nicole Kidman in live-action roles. Paddington is being shown in The Corn Exchange on Sunday 27th December 2015 at 7.30pm and Monday 28th December 2015 at 7.30pm. Paddington received very positive reviews from film critics. The Times: 'Endearing, hilarious, and for humans of a certain vintage, tearfully nostalgic'. The Guardian: 'A charming and sweet-natured family film, full of wit and fun, skewed towards young children but cheekily speckled with sly gags pitched at the older audience'. Empire Magazine: 'Marmaladen with gloriously silly jokes, pitch-perfect performances and incidental detail, this is a warm, witty and wondrously inventive great big bear-hug of a movie'. Tomatometer: 'Paddington brings a beloved children's character into the 21st century without sacrificing his essential charm, delivering a family-friendly adventure as irresistibly cuddly as its star'. The film tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear who travels to the city in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realise that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that says "Please look after this bear. Thank you." and offer him a temporary haven. But little do the Browns realise just how much chaos one small bear can cause – and they soon discover that their lives will never be the same again! Truly a film for children of all ages! Admission is £6, with tickets available from Hamiltons Newsagents and at the door on the evening, subject to availabilty. |

Thank you very much for your continued support! 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 £14,000. 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.
