Your
Belmont
Memories

"My wife and I remember watching Local Hero on the big screen at the Belmont several years ago. A great movie, which we had seen many times, but is much better seen in the cinema.

Hope we can bring it back. Great work and good luck!"

"I was so excited... the greatest action film of all time was coming to Belmont, a 35mm screening; Predator!

Sold Out

"The aircon is broken so I'd advise you to head down stairs and get yourself a beer".

It was unbearably hot in there, crammed together and sweating like an inappropriate metaphor.

Perfect.
Total immersion."

"I remember going to see The Red Turtle, and it being one of the most transfixing and moving instances in my life. Something about being in the dark during this quiet movie, with the sounds of the environment and the picture overwhelming my senses with their simplicity, make it one of the most memorable movie experiences of my life.

I know people can have different experiences with the same movie, or perhaps it's something other than film that inspires them. However, I will always be thankful to Belmont for the artistic and eclectic range of films they showed, without which I would not have been able to have these experiences."

"Holding casual screenings of classic, beloved, or cult movies in the bar downstairs was an excellent idea. The sofas and bean bags created a relaxed atmosphere, and the bar was open to buy drinks from. I started bringing my friend along, I think the first movie they came to was 28 Days Later.

I also ended up bringing my friend along to the Climate Action Cafe meetings. They were really informative and always busy (had to arrive early to get seats). It felt good to have an accessible communal space to have these wildly different but important events that informed and inspired us, as well as a place to relax and enjoy our evenings."
