The best independent cinemas and film theatres in Scotland

Dundee Centre for Contemporary Arts

“Our cinema programme is developed entirely in-house – we believe that the knowledge and experience gained by working directly with our audience helps us tailor our programme to local needs and interests. This is partly what makes a visit to the cinema at DCA so special!”

Cameo

“Originally opened as the King’s Cinema on 8 January 1914, the Cameo is one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland. It was refurbished in 1949, when it was renamed the Cameo, and it quickly established a reputation for screening arthouse films. It is still home to the latest independent films and classic re-releases, as well as a range of exciting festivals.” – Stewart Burr, Duty Manager
