Make it to Munich - Blackhouse Films (w/ Paul Lawrie)

Ethan Walker, a promising young Scottish footballer from Aberdeen, is attending a dream college football scholarship in New York State when he is tragically hit by a car and suffers life-threatening injuries. Flown back to Scotland after nine gruelling weeks in the intensive care ward, Ethan has his right knee rebuilt from scratch by orthopaedic surgeon Gordon Mackay. With Ethan’s fighting spirit and Gordon’s innovate surgical skills, a healthy dose of determination and a dry sense of humour, Ethan starts to rebuild his life.

Professional Equipment

Cinema quality digital projector and surround sound system

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 a range of acoustic panels specially designed to reduce reverberation thereby, improving the cinema sound experience. A 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.

Ratings

British Board of Film Classifications (BBFC) - What do they mean?

U - Universal: A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. However, it is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child, especially at this lower end of the category range.

PG - Parental Guidance: A film that is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for younger children. A PG film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content might upset younger or more sensitive children.

12 A: Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12.

No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the content advice for that film in advance.

15: 15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age therefore no-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema.

18: For adults. No-one under 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the cinema.
