cinema to a loyal, informed and receptive audience.

the Moving Image (CMI) which also incorporates the

Filmhouse in Edinburgh and the Edinburgh International

• What is now Belmont Filmhouse was built in 1896 as a

Trades Hall. The first film was shown on the premises

in 1898 and featured footage of Queen Victoria at

Balmoral. In 1910 it turned to permanent film as the

Coliseum and was refurbished and reopened as the

New Kinema in 1921. After another refurbishment in

1935 it was renamed the Belmont Cinema. It closed in

1953, and the building was converted into a warehouse.

It reopened as The Belmont Picturehouse in September

2000 after a major refurbishment by Aberdeen City

Council with assistance from the National Lottery and

Scottish Screen. In 2014, the Centre for the Moving

Image was selected to take on the management and the

Belmont became Belmont Filmhouse.

APPENDIX: FILM SCREENING RIGHTS

•

• Additionally, as we are a professional cinema working

to a high technical standard, we will endeavour to

arrange to screen the film for you from a high quality,

professional screening format such as DCP (rather than

from a more unreliable format such as DVD or Blu-ray,

which presents a lower quality image when projected

onto the big screen).

• The cost of hiring a film is a set £200+ VAT in addition to

the main venue hire charge. This fee will cover copyright

clearance, access to materials, shipment of materials and

any other costs involved in licensing and screening the film.

Please be aware that we cannot guarantee availability of all

film titles, because sometimes the righs are not available, or

sometimes there are no screening materials accessible in

the UK at a reasonable cost. If there are no professional

screening materials available in the UK, then it may still be

possible to arrange rights clearance for a screening from

DVD, and our programme planning staff will advise you o

the best solution.

• Any collaborative screenings in the public programme,

which have not been subject to a BBFC certificate, must be

certificated and approved by the local council. This process

requires additional lead-in time and will be considered in

any terms negotiated between the programming team and

any external partners.

Due to strict copyright law, Belmont Filmhouse may

only screen films after arranging a license from the

rights-holder. If you would like to show a film in one of

our screens, then we will do our best to source your

requested title in a professional screening format and at

a fixed price.
