Cinema Nairn Programme (subject to change)

Determined to show interesting films in Nairn as suggested by those who want to watch them ie not the regular "blockbusters" but classics and lesser-known gems from around the world. Films are currently screened in the Nairn Community & Arts Centre on King Street (just off the A96) and occasionally in The Little Theatre (also in King Street but in Fishertown).

Screening may sometimes be cancelled or films substituted (for reasons beyond our control such as licencing and/or distribution rights) please check for latest information and before travelling any distance.

First Screenings - Sunday 29th November 2009

We are offering three classic films being shown in Nairn Community Centre to launch Cinema Nairn.


The Wizard of Oz Cert (Colour 1939) "U" Running Time: 101 minutes - 2.00pm

Most youngsters who’ve seen The Wizard of Oz will have seen it at home – a big screen projection in a cinema full of other excited kids will be quite a different experience! It’s 70 years old this year but remains a real feat of film-making.



The Magnificent Seven (Colour 1960) "PG" Running Time: 138 minutes - 5.00pm

Westerns represent cinema’s hey-day for a lot of people and The Magnificent Seven is the daddy of them all with brilliant performances from the likes of Steve McQueen and stirring music by Elmer Bernstein.



I Know Where I'm Going (B&W 1945) "U" Running Time: 92 minutes - 8.00pm

A jewel of British film-making from Powell and Pressburger, set in the Highlands and combining romance, suspense, comedy and a dash of the supernatural.



Hopefully something to suit most peoples tastes.


Tickets (Adults £4.00/Children £3.00) available from the Community Centre, Nairn Bookshop and iolaire photo:graphics (at the Railway Station)

  1. Good luck with this venture. A good choice to start with, if successful will you do requests or enable people to vote for films they might like to see?
