THE BIRKS CINEMA

The CAMPAIGN to BRING the Birks Cinema in the Perthshire town of Aberfeldy BACK TO LIFE

Now that digital technology makes small local cinemas viable again, the charity Friends of the Birks Cinema aims to transform the Birks into a STATE OF THE ART community run cinema and café bar to entertain both residents and visitors and help put heart back into the town:

A digital system for showing of up to date movies, including 3D, and a wide ranging programme tailored to different interests and age groups
Capacity for live broadcast links – sports, opera and other events from around the world
A café-bar open to all from morning to late evening
A venue for live performance and special events

News:
As the deadline for the campaign to rebuild the Birks Cinema reaches its conclusion, Friends of the Birks Cinema put out a statement. Full details of news and events

This lively new addition to the Square will, it is hoped, be equally attractive to young and old alike. As a community run enterprise, it will provide jobs and training, and by returning a much-loved Aberfeldy landmark to its original purpose, it will undoubtedly boost local businesses, bringing residents and visitors into town more frequently. The Birks Cinema has been standing empty in Aberfeldy’s central square for several years – a sad corner of this beautiful Perthshire town. WE AIM TO CHANGE ALL THAT.

"For years, all you heard about was cinemas closing, but now it’s a different story. As someone who loves film, I’m excited by the idea that the town where I was born could soon have world class cinema right on its doorstep. The Birks Cinema has my backing, and I hope it has yours too."
