Argo weekend

Another sunny Saturday in Balerno and the BVS kicked off with our matinee A Monster In Paris on our super duper computer assisted projector funded by the City of Edinburgh Council. A full house of children and parents gave a hundred per cent attention to this interesting animated musical.

Next up our very discerning four o’clock audience showed up in force for the tense thriller Argo (our first ever 15 rated movie). This film had some words that were not swear words but the cosmopolitan citizens of Balerno took this in their stride and gave the movie the thumbs up.

Funding boost for Village Screen

We are delighted to announce that the City of Edinburgh Council has approved a grant to support Balerno Village Screen. This is fantastic news and will allow us to install suitable projection and sound equipment to enhance the cinema experience and help us make the facilities available to the wider community. 
 
The funding will also allow us to develop a programme of training and workshops for children who want to learn more about making film. 
 
A huge thank you goes to the City of Edinburgh Council for having the vision to support this project and also thank you to the community of Balerno and surrounding areas for endorsing our community cinema by turning out in numbers to support us and sending your messages of support! 
 
Happy Friday everyone – tickets for our April screenings of ARGO and Monster in Paris available Tuesday 12th March.

Skyfall screening in March

A treat for all of you Bond fans. Skyfall has been named film of the year at the London Evening Standard British Film Awards and will be screened on Saturday 2nd March at Balerno Village Screen. We hope to confirm screening times this week – please keep an eye on social media and/or subscribe to our email updates so you get an alert as soon as tickets become available.

In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. — (C) Official Site.

Your very own poster

Many thanks to everyone so far for their helpful comments and support in embracing the Balerno Village Screen. Tickets for the first show are moving quickly so remember to book asap if you want to come to The Artist on 2nd Feb.

Can you help us?

We are trying to reach as much of the Balerno community as possible. So to help spread the word, it would be fantastic if you downloaded and printed out our posters and put them up in your place of work, in your school, in your community center, pub, Scout Hall – anywhere really – even on your fridge!Hitchcock Clapperboard

If you can do help that would be brilliant.

If you could then take a picture of your poster and share it on social media that would be even better! If posting on Facebook, please tag Balerno Village Screen. And if posting on Twitter please include our Twitter handle @balernocinema. Or comment below to tell us where you have put your poster.

We have three posters for you to download (start small get bigger):

Happy postering! Please remember if you put your poster up in a public place please remove it after the date of the film. If this proves successful we will have new posters for our next film.

We’ve also been in the news.

If you’ve been listening to Radio Scotland this week you might have heard us mentioned on the Movie Cafe on Thursday afternoon. We’ve been picked up in the newspapers too:
