Not just a cinema...
"I owe so much to the Belmont. Apart from seeing SO many incredible films, I ran a few sound art events there as part of my PhD - we had AV installations and live performances in the bar as well as screenings. The support from the staff was invaluable. The opportunities that the Belmont gave me to share my work at a fairly formative stage in my career had a huge and lasting impact on me. My best wishes goes out to all the staff!"

The Great Escape
Had my 50th birthday there with a screening of The Great Escape with 50 plus friends.
Pure magic.

Premiere and Kino Bar
"I remember vividly premiering my BFI film Hector at the Belmont in 2019, it was a brilliant event that was very personal to myself. Over the years I've attended many of the incredible and unique Kino Bar screenings that I loved dearly with all my heart. I attended the last even one at Tucker and Dale Vs Evil and I still have my ticket for Starship Troopers :( hopefully one day I can sit in that Kino Bar again and watch a classic."

Important space for a lonely teenager
"I cannot emphasise enough how much the Belmont means to me. When I was a teenager I didn’t have many friends and the Belmont was where I learnt how to spend time alone and still enjoy myself. I went almost every weekend, travelling from out of town to see all kinds of indie movies. The space that the Belmont created is totally unlike anything at any other cinema or any other space in Aberdeen and it broke my heart when it closed so suddenly. I am holding on to hope, for my inner teenager, that the Belmont is brought back to life."
