<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'The Navigator' (1924) is one of Buster Keaton's most
ambitious and inventive films. Set in a hugely impressive drifting liner, the
lack of any coherent plot line was no barrier to the most amazing and hilarious
series of watery gags and stunts, including some underwater sequences shot in
the near freezing waters of Lake Tahoe. <o:p></o:p></div>

In 2012 Cinema Nairn presented Anthony Baxter's disturbing documentary about the Balmedie golf course near Aberdeen in the award winning 'You've Been Trumped'. A Dangerous Game is the fascinating follow-up where Baxter return to Menie to see how things have gone since the course opened and further investigates the disturbing aspects of the development. The film also looks at the broader context of luxury golf developments worldwide and at their impact on the often fragile environment of the area where they are constructed.<br />
<br />
There is also an interview with Donald Trump, which no doubt will be very interesting!<br />

A homage to the late Richard Attenborough. In Graham
Greene’s adaption of his own novel, Pinkie Brown (Attenborough) runs a protection racket, but in trying to
cover up the murder of one of his rivals, Pinkie’s behaviour gets more and more
desperate. A great British film for a
British great! <o:p></o:p></div>

resilience with a great sense of humour and fantastic performances from the
cast. </span><br />

<br />
Here's the Chairmwoman's Annual Report:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>CINEMA NAIRN. Fifth Annual Report February 2015</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Programme</b>.<br />
In 2014 Cinema Nairn celebrated another very good year with nearly 900 attendances at the 15 films shown throughout the year. Most popular of the evening showings was ‘Sunshine on Leith’ with an audience of 110, and a wee dram was served to celebrate (or otherwise) the Referendum result! ‘Cool Runnings’ celebrated the Winter Olympics, while all four matinees attracted a large and loyal following, with many of the older generation rekindling fond memories of childhood cinema trips to see ‘Geordie’ and ‘The Maggie’. For Nairn Book and Arts Festival there was standing room only at Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Circus’ which was part of the Festival’s children’s day. Andy May again did the honours brilliantly on piano.<br />
Audience members were again invited to suggest films for future programmes, and several of the suggestions have been included in the programme.<br />
<br />
<b>Loyalty Cards</b><br />
The loyalty card scheme remains popular, and we now feel we are establishing a regular audience which gives us financial security, but more importantly, fulfils the original vision of community cinema, and seeing films with friends in your own community. The matinees in particular have given some people a cinema experience which they have not had access to for many years, and the tea and baking remain very popular.<br />
<br />
<b>Committee</b>:<br />
Chair: Joan Noble, Treasurer: Seamus McArdle, Front of House, Box Office: Kate McArdle,<br />
Vivian Laycock, Christine Corfield. Graphics, website and programme production: Tez Watson.<br />
Thanks to Val Springett who still helps by distributing posters for each film. <br />
<br />
<b>Funding</b><br />
We did not apply for grant funding this year as the Scotmid grant from the previous year continued to support the matinees in 2014. However we were very grateful to Nairn Book and Arts Festival for sharing some of the Davidson Trust sponsorship for the Children’s day film, as the licences to show some of these old films are very expensive, and we regretfully cannot normally afford to give children free entry.<br />
<br />
<b>Finally……..</b><br />
Cinema Nairn owes special thanks to Sam and the extremely encouraging and helpful staff of Nairn Community Centre, who have wholeheartedly backed our organisation.<br />
Thank you also to all who have supported CN over this very successful fifth year, and to the hardworking and very efficient committee. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>Friday 30th January: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) 12 (124 mins) 7.30pm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">Judie Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy, with a group of retirees, travel to India, to the hotel of their dreams – but it’s not quite what they expected! A great cast and wonderful colourful surroundings to brighten up a winter’s evening.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>Friday 27th February: Night of the Hunter (1955) 12 (92 mins) 7.30pm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">A film-noir thriller from director Charles Laughton, starring the great Robert Mitchum as a fake religious fanatic. He marries gullible widow (Shelley Winters) to get to her two children who know where their real daddy hid the loot from a heist. Mitchum at his classic best!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">The synopsis could leave you to think this true story of a quadriplegic man and his wacky carer was one of tragedy and sadness. But director (Oliver Nakache) turns it into an enriching story of human resilience with a great sense of humour and fantastic performances from the cast. Another hidden gem that everyone should see!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>Friday 17th April: The Sapphires (2012) PG (100 mins) 7.30pm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">Wayne Blair’s film received high critical acclaim on release in 2012, but had a limited airing at cinemas. So now is your chance to see a really enjoyable true story of four young aboriginal girls who form a group and entertain the troops in Vietnam. A film about love, friendship and war – with great music from the 60s.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>Friday 15th May: Brighton Rock (1947) 15 (92 mins) 7.30pm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">A homage to the late Richard Attenborough. In Graham Greene’s adaption of his own novel, Pinkie Brown (Attenborough) runs a protection racket, but in trying to cover up the murder of one of his rivals, Pinky’s behaviour gets more and more desperate. A great British film for a British great! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>Friday 19th June: The Rocket Post (2004) 12A (112 mins) 7.30pm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">Sit back and relax amidst the beautiful Scottish scenery and enjoy this heart-warming 1930s tale of love and postal deliveries! Filmed on Taransay in the Hebrides you’ll want to see this film over and over again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">We brought you Anthony Baxter’s disturbing documentary about the Balmedie golf course in ‘You’ve Been Trumped’. How have the locals coped? How did Trump get the go-ahead? What is the global impact of the luxury golf course trade? This excellent documentary explores all of this and more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>September 2015 (TBC) Nairn Book & Arts – Cinema Nairn’s regular silent film with live musical accompaniment. Details later.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">Yet another hidden gem in Nairn! Anna is a young novitiate nun in 1960s Poland, on the verge of taking her vows, when she discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the Nazi occupation. A gripping, highly acclaimed film from Poland.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><b>Monday 5th October: 39 Steps (1935) U (86 mins) 2pm Matinee</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;">Only the original and the best is good enough for Cinema Nairn goers, and Hitchcock’s version with Robert Donat is just that! You know the story and the scenery – some come along and watch it on the big screen with everyone else!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: 14.9999990463257px;"><br /></span>
