It's two years today since Belmont closed its doors - and two years today since the fight to bring it back began.
We're grateful to everyone who has stood by our team on this journey to bring back Aberdeen's little independent cinema.

The Maltese Falcon, the iconic film noir that launched Humphrey Bogartβs career as a leading man, premiered in New York City on this day in 1941. Asked about the film, Bogart said: βIt is practically a masterpiece. I donβt have many things Iβm proud of, but thatβs one.β
