Events
While we fundraise to reimagine, refurbish, and reopen The Belmont Cinema, our team is committed to engaging our community and continuing to foster that love and appreciation for cinema through an exciting programme of events.
This page features details of our upcoming screenings, talks, quizzes, and fundraising events.

Wednesday 22nd July, 6:30pm at Central Library
Join Team Belmont and Danny Ruta for the first session in our Director Spotlight Series focussing on, the one and only, Martin Scorsese.
Over eight weekly 90 minute sessions, we'd like to take you on a journey where together we can explore the career and work of Martin Scorsese. We’ll begin with the formative childhood experiences that created the obsessions and passions that have driven him throughout his career, and explore how they have become the subjects of his very personal body of work. We’ll move chronologically through his career, and in each session, we’ll focus on two key films in each decade.
The Director Spotlight Lecture Series is supported by Creative Scotland and Aberdeen City Council's Cultural Investment Programme.
Saturday 25th July, 1:30pm - 3:45pm at Aberdeen Art Gallery - Seminar Room
Come along for the 1976 Scorsese Classic: 'Taxi Driver' at Aberdeen Art Galley as part of our Director Spotlight Series exploring the director's 70 year career.
Tickets are free of charge, and any donations will contribute toward the Save The Belmont Campaign to reopen, refurbish, and reimagine Aberdeen's Only Independent Cinema.
This screening is supported by Creative Scotland and Aberdeen City Council's Cultural Investment Programme.
Tuesday 28th July, 7:30pm at The Snug, Ma Cameron's
Join us each month for our Tuesday Film Club.
How our Film Clubs work:
Like a book club for films! Each month, club members will decide on a film to watch before the next meeting, then we will meet for the next meeting and share our opinions on the film, and the person who nominated the film will be our 'expert' who shares fun facts they've learned about the film.
This is a great opportunity to make new friends who share a passion for film.
Please note that this film club is currently full. Our Thursday film club is welcoming film-enthusiasts to join them!
