2 ABOUT BELMONT FILMHOUSE Belmont Filmhouse is one of Scotland s foremost independent cinemas with a programme of over 400 films and events each year, bringing the best of world cinema to a loyal, informed and receptive audience. It is a registered charity and part of the Centre for the Moving Image (CMI) which also incorporates the Filmhouse in Edinburgh and the Edinburgh International Film Festival. What is now Belmont Filmhouse was built in 1896 as a Trades Hall. The first film was shown on the premises in 1898 and featured footage of Queen Victoria at Balmoral. In 1910 it turned to permanent film as the Coliseum and was refurbished and reopened as the New Kinema in After another refurbishment in 1935 it was renamed the Belmont Cinema. It closed in 1953, and the building was converted into a warehouse. It reopened as The Belmont Picturehouse in September 2000 after a major refurbishment by Aberdeen City Council with assistance from the National Lottery and Scottish Screen. In 2014, the Centre for the Moving Image was selected to take on the management and the Belmont became Belmont Filmhouse. Belmont Filmhouse can host a wide variety of different events, parties or meetings. It can cater for a range of events including: private film screenings, screenings of adverts, training videos etc., staff briefings, client presentations, discussions/debates, product launches and drinks receptions. 2

9 TESTIMONIALS I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Belmont Filmhouse for all the help and technical support that they gave to us to enable our 30th anniversary event to run smoothly. It was a great day for us, and we were really pleased with it and how it all went. Kenny Thom (Service Manager) Penumbra Belmont Filmhouse is a great venue for any event that involves visual elements. The staff at the Belmont are extremely supportive when planning and running events especially if there are additional technical requirements. The venue itself is very welcoming and comfortable. Heather Doran, Pecha Kucha University Of Aberdeen Over the years, Total E&P UK has enjoyed hosting functions in this unique Aberdeen venue. The success of our events was largely due to the professionalism, friendliness and flexibility of the staff at the Belmont, with an emphasis on providing first-class catering.

11 APPENDICES Please continue to find out more about Film Screening Rights Technical Specification Bar Options 11

12 APPENDIX: FILM SCREENING RIGHTS Due to strict copyright law, Belmont Filmhouse may only screen films after arranging a license from the rights-holder. If you would like to show a film in one of our screens, then we will do our best to source your requested title in a professional screening format and at a fixed price. Additionally, as we are a professional cinema working to a high technical standard, we will endeavour to arrange to screen the film for you from a high quality, professional screening format such as DCP (rather than from a more unreliable format such as DVD or Blu-ray, which presents a lower quality image when projected onto the big screen). The cost of hiring a film is a set 200+ VAT in addition to the main venue hire charge. This fee will cover copyright clearance, access to materials, shipment of materials and any other costs involved in licensing and screening the film. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee availability of all film titles, because sometimes the righs are not available, or sometimes there are no screening materials accessible in the UK at a reasonable cost. If there are no professional screening materials available in the UK, then it may still be possible to arrange rights clearance for a screening from DVD, and our programme planning staff will advise you o the best solution. Any collaborative screenings in the public programme, which have not been subject to a BBFC certificate, must be certificated and approved by the local council. This process requires additional lead-in time and will be considered in any terms negotiated between the programming team and any external partners. 12

13 APPENDIX: TECHNICAL SPECS. Cinemas: All three auditoria provide state-of-the-art cinema facilities, that will be managed on the day by one of our technical staff, who include some of the most experienced cinema technicians in the UK.

If you are bringing your own source materials to screen (Blu Ray, Laptop) then we would ask that they are supplied at least 48 hours in advance so we can test them prior to the event. There are lapel and roaming microphones available for use in the screens. If you require any additional equipment we can source this from one of our regular suppliers, such as AVC Media, and our technical team would be happy to discuss your specific requirements with you. Any 35mm presentation will be subject to an additional fee of VAT. Any event, lecture or conference that requires technical assistance with PowerPoint or video will be subject to an additional fee of 25 + VAT per hour of staff members time.
