Spring Update
Written by richard henderson Monday, 11 April 2011 08:41
Our Spring 2011 programme of films is well underway, but with a great selection still to be screened, we are sure there is something for everyone. We've seen Holly Golightly cause mayhem in the Big Apple, Banksy's 'documentary' showcasing the rise of the graffiti artist, Audrey Hepburn appear in a 'blink and you miss it' cameo with Alex Guiness in the brilliant Lavender Hill Mob, and most recently aliens in the Oscar nominated District 9.
Mowgli and his chums will be dancing across the screen in one of Disney's most loved classic films. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and set your toes a tapping! With tickets selling fast, don't miss out to see Jungle Book on the big screen. Tuesday 12th April at 2pm
Coming up: Ewan McGregor gets more than he bargains for when he accepts a job writing the memoirs of ex Prime Minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan). Based on the best selling novel by Robert Harris, and bound to get the old grey matter working. Tuesday 26th April at 7.30pm
For more details about what films are in the offing, check out the Paisley Arts Centre website where you can book tickets online, or our Program page using the menu above.
Not been to one of our screenings yet? Easily accessible from Glasgow by train (Glasgow Central, trains roughly every 15 minutes, and takes no more than 20 minutes) or bus (from Union Street in Glasgow Arriva, First Bus and Dicksons busses run frequently and will take you right into Paisley town centre within 40 minutes). Paisley Arts Centre is a 5 minute (slow) walk from Gilmour Street Station, or Paisley town centre. Free parking is nearby (6.15pm-11pm). Come early, have a drink upstairs in the Haunt Bar, or grab a coffee in the cafe.
Come see us soon!
We're Back!!

We're back - and to kick off a non-Valentines, Valentine's film. The classic Breakfast at Tiffany's - the shop, not the Eastenders character. Whole different kind of film there, probably involving shouting, selling veg, shouting, incest, shouting, burning pubs, sleeping with the wrong people and shouting.
No, No, ours is classic film with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. She has a problem and no-one else to turn to. He plays space cowboy, an intergalactic trucker who loves old westerns. Or something like that!
Anyway, come along at 19:30 and enjoy the film As usual, Minstrels on request.
Films! Films! Films!

Just as the Spring Summer programme came to an end we applied for funding to hold a February Film Fiesta at the Arts Centre in 2011. The application was made to Regional Screen Scotland, and despite excellent feedback we were not successful. However we will still have a superb Spring Summer season which we are already really excited about!
Our Autumn Winter programme is now well underway, and although short is still very very good (slightly biased, but still . . . ). We recently screened The Hurt Locker, and would like to say a huge thank you to the TA who allowed two of their soldiers to come down to the Paisley Arts Centre with their bomb detection kit and show us how it all works in real life. Humbling stuff. Heartfelt thanks to the guys who made it out to us, straight from their shift. You will be in our thoughts when you head back out to Afghanistan soon.
Films we saw over the summer included Inception, The Ghost Writer, the brilliant Toy Story 3, Exit Through The Gift Shop (was it or was it not made by Banksy?), Knight and Day (Cameron and Cruise in full blockbuster mode), The A Team (speaking of blockbusters), Salt (Anjelina Jolie playing a double agent. Or is she?) . . . to name but a few . . .
In the coming weeks we will also be trying to find out a little bit more about what you think of the films on offer at the Paisley Arts Centre, and what you would like to see screened. If you have any thoughts, comments about our programme, the numbers of screenings, timings, what type of films we are showing then please do let us know or get in touch via the webpage.
Hope to see you at a screening soon!
