Welcome

We specialize in providing a community service to showcase hard-hitting and thought-provoking documentary films which are considered rare.

“The aim of Thurso Cinema Club is to provide our far north community with a unique involvement in deciding exactly what they would like to see at the pictures and provide a get-together for people who would otherwise not normally attend a theatre.”

A different type of cinema

With the rise of so many comic marvel type movies these days which increasingly go beyond suspending disbelief, here at Thurso Cinema Club we feel there is a market to slowdown slightly and showcase a once-a-month film rooted in a documentary format. This will make for stimulating viewing – and a chance to discuss afterwards among fellow club goers.

Collated on your behalf from all around the world for the benefit of our far north community, films with be advertised here and socials. Tickets will be used to “private hire our Thurso cinema” and you will automatically be issued a refund in the unfortunate situation of not enough tickets being sold to make a documentary viable for that months showing.

Mini-bus service can be arranged for elderly.

Showings take place the last Wednesday of the month.

Films will not be shown too late but start after work-times.

Votes on socials will be held for next months showing.

Russians at War

Gaining rare access, she captures a conflict that shatters families, history, and identity. Her raw, front-line footage reveals disillusioned soldiers questioning their purpose. Premiering at Venice and TIFF, Russians at War is among the most provocative and widely debated documentaries of the war.

Tears of Gaza

Date to be announced.

Tears of Gaza is a 2010 Norwegian anti-war documentary concerning the Israeli operation “Cast Lead” as seen through the eyes of a group of Palestinian children, and was directed by Vibeke Løkkeberg.

The film is based on the imagery taken by people themselves in Gaza, with some additional material from the few foreign journalists who were present.
