Stories From The World Over

"I wouldn't have discovered Asian cinema if it weren't for The Belmont. I remember seeing one of my first Korean movies The Age of Shadows in screen 3 with my big brother. Ever since then Asian cinema was our favourite for years and to a lesser extent screen 3 became our comfy place. The Belmont opened a gate of culture, history and stories to us by simply existing. It should exist again."

Daniel Faulkner

Place to go for indie & foreign films

"Belmont cinema was THE place to go to see independent and foreign films in Aberdeen. These are high quality productions, but they tend to be pushed from larger cinemas in favour of blockbusters. I would never have seen Vanessa Paradis acting in the Belmont screening of L'Arnacouer. A fantastic night out with friends."

Sharing Family Favourites

"Loved taking my stepdaughter when she was six to a screening of E.T. She loved it, and it was so much more fun with the theatre experience."

"My memories of the cinema are not only looking at the latest blockbusters but also of it as an art-house cinema. Showing specialist movies like foreign, independent, brilliant and classic movies to anyone with a strong love of filmmaking and movies."
