In 1910, Belfast’s first proper custom built cinema was opened. The Electric Picture Palace on York Street was exclusively used for showing moving pictures, as distinct from the theatres and public halls which had been previously used.
Thus started a remarkable 100 year love affair between the citizens of Belfast and the Cinema. Over the years this love affair has included over 60 different cinemas - picture palaces each with own unique attractions but all with with iconic names like The Troxy, The Curzon or the The Majestic.
Join film aficionado Brian Henry Martin on a journey to celebrate a century of Belfast cinema experiences from usherettes to ice cream from pathe news to popping corn.
In memory of James Doherty 1920 - 2008.
