Memories
Double Bill
"As a film student without a student loan, it was quite difficult to save some money to be able to go to the cinema. However, when Lars Von Trier's double bill came out ten years ago, I managed to get a £10 bundle for both, which made me so happy. Even though it was a small, community cinema, the hall was fully packed for both screenings, and the atmosphere was incredible. Throughout my years as a student, and afterwards, Belmont has been my little corner of happiness and escapism, where I felt happy and safe. The cinema has always been my go-to place, and I am so excited to hear that the Belmont will once again be able to harbour so many lonely souls, like me, in the magical world of cinema."

Magical 5th birthday
"My daughter had her fifth birthday at the Belmont - a private screening of Up. The best bit was being able to take her into the projectionists room and actually start the film - amazing."
Katherine Rigby
Unique entertainment
"Spent many years going to the Belmont watching films not shown elsewhere. Even though you didn't know anyone there, it still had a feeling of closeness and because of that you wanted more. Was so disappointed when it closed Had just renewed my membership days before."

Special Screenings
"Really enjoyed the one off events that the entire Belmont team got behind. Saw the notorious "The Room" a couple of times and both screenings were among the best experiences I've had in a cinema.
Also enjoyed the Nolan Batman day where all three films were screened back to back and went all-in on the fancy dress, which helped make the day really special."

Table tennis film
"I can't remember the name of the film, but it was a documentary about ageing people who play table tennis.
A whole group of people from a Aberdeen table tennis club were there and we smiled for the whole duration of the film.
The whole night was joyous!"
NB: The film might be Ping Pong (2012).
