In this month's update we have news of our first film for 2016


Winner of four Oscars in 2015

The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 2014 comedy film directed by Wes Anderson. It stars Ralph Fiennes as a concierge who is framed for murder, and teams up with one of his employees to prove his innocence. The film features a truly wonderful ensemble cast, including Tony Revolori, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is being shown in The Corn Exchange on Friday 29th January 2016 at 7.30pm Saturday 30th January 2016 at 7.30pm.

The film recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune - all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.

The film received 11 BAFTA nominations, more than any other film, including Best Film and Best Director for Anderson, and Best Actor for Fiennes. It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and garnered three more Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Director for Anderson.

It also received nine Academy Award nominations, the joint most (with Birdman) for the ceremony, including Best Picture and Best Director. It won the Academy Awards for Best Production Design, Best Original Score, Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

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 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.
