It is run by volunteers and is the only form of family entertainment available six nights a week, 52 weeks of the year for an isolated community. It will celebrate its Centenary on 26th May 2013. One of the first purpose built cinemas in the country, Glasgow Art Nouveau, the original architect, Albert Gardner returned in the 30s to add an 'atmospheric' interior, now surviving as a unique example of this style. Described by The Guardian as 'the most beautiful cinema in the UK' it is now in need of restoration, The Centenary Project will enable the building to face its second hundred years more sustainably by using the adjacent vacant annex to build a bigger box office and kiosk, able to serve cinema food and drink. An exhibition will be created from the archive of photographs of the MacGrory Brothers, two successful local businessmen, who, as their hobby, took over 2000 photographs in the 1890s and early 1900s. There will also be an exhibition of the cinema's own history and artifacts, including restoring a Mercury Arc Rectifier. These additional facilities and linked activities will be a valuable new source of indoor entertainment for residents and visitors alike. This project has already received support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic and Creative Scotland, Highlands & Islands Enterprise, European LEADER and Argyll & Bute Council. Also grants from private trusts and foundations have been promised. But the costs are likely to be in the region of £2 million, so many other fundraising efforts are needed to ensure what Peter Irvine said “Cinema Paradiso on the Kintyre peninsula, to see a film here and emerge onto the esplanade of Campbeltown Loch is to experience the lost magic of a night at the pictures” becomes a reality.
