The Victoria Hall is the home of Ellon Cinema which is run entirely by volunteers. The Hall is equipped with its own cinema quality (DCI) digital projector, file server and a 5.1 surround sound system featuring a Dolby CP750 sound processor to allow the screening of recent releases from DCP files only a few weeks after initial release at the main cinemas. The film delivery and cinema support services are provided by Edinburgh based Indy Cinema Group who liaise on our behalf with the film distributor for delivery of encrypted film files, de-encryption keys, accounting and payment of rights fees and delivery of posters. Ellon Cinema volunteers continue to improve where possible and following upgrading the balcony area they have installed 44 acoustic panels specially designed to reduce reverberation thereby, improving the cinema sound experience. A new satellite system has been installed which has allowed the screening of live broadcasts of concerts, plays and ballet as and when these are made available to the team.

Last Christmas (12A)Saturday 21st December 2 pmKate (Clarke) harumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop.

As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you have to let the snow fall where it may, listen to your heart … and have faith. Last Christmas features the music of George Michael, including the bittersweet holiday classic of the film’s title.
