The Kirky Picture Palace is organised by Your Kirky and supported by East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture (EDLC) Trust – which operates Kirkintilloch Town Hall.
Councillor Jim Gibbons, Chair of EDLC Trust, said, "I'm pleased to see another diverse line-up of movies available for local film fans – including special screenings for people with dementia and carers, and young children and families.
The initiative is really proving popular with residents and visitors."
Serina Marshall, Cinema Co-ordinator of the Kirky Picture Palace, said, "Thanks to everyone who once again supported our community cinema in February – the feedback was excellent and it was great to see so many people enjoying themselves. Thanks also again to our wonderful volunteers, who make it all possible. If you want to join the team, please get in touch."
