Aberdeen’s independent cinema the Belmont Filmhouse has launched an online fundraiser to help keep it going over the next few months.
The cinema on Belmont Street shut its doors in March due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.
As cinemas will not be able to open until phase three of the Scottish Government’s route map out of lockdown, independent operations like The Belmont are facing huge financial challenges, as well as having to implement social distancing measures, which will greatly reduce audience sizes.
Peterhead-born film director Jon S Baird today gave his backing to the crowdfunding campaign, which aims to raise £25,000.
