The Cinema Museum: The Love Letter 2021 

Music and picture absolutely beautiful. Caroline says, 'Miss you guys!'

I like to think that I have a special affinity with the Cinema Museum because in the 1950s I was a Saturday-afternoon-at-the-movies, film-mad kid in Aberdeen, where much of the basis of the Museum collection originated. Not only that, but many of the films I saw would actually have been shown by Ron Grant, who was a projectionist in the city at the time. You might say he has a lot to answer for, but my childhood was cinema heaven, and I loved every one of Aberdeen’s picture houses. Ron saved as much as he could; tragically the rest was lost forever, thrown into Aberdeen’s Rubislaw Quarry. This touching and perceptive film clearly shows how the impressive collection now has items from far and wide since its early days. Francesco Zavattari’s evocative images and Neil Brand’s music, with its flavour of Cinema Paradiso swept me back over fifty years; a reminder that nostalgia is a hugely powerful and important part of cinema history. Congratulations to everyone involved in the making of The Love Letter. PLEASE sign the petition if you haven't already done so!

A must have for this great city

Love this place.

What a lovely, and very poignant, reminder of what we are all missing so badly. Let's hope it's not too long before we are back at this wonderful Museum.

Wonderful Photography

Beautiful video!

What beautiful memories of the museum and it truly showcases the importance of why you should continue to be supported. We cannot wait till you're allowed to open again.

What s smashing film. Reminder of past visits.

I can’t think of a better Valentine treat nor cause. This brings the Museum to vivid life with a perfect soundtrack. Thank you and much love! Lauren

What a beautiful film showing how much amazing history is exhibited there. We must keep treasures like these. It is our duty.

Brings back fond memories of visits to the Museum, soon to be rekindled, let's hope! Of course we can all make a contribution to making that happen by signing the petition.

Delightful film with that lovely Cinema Paradiso music

what's more beautiful, the photographs or the music - hard to tell - just lovely - I have signed the 'save the cinema museum' petition because this sort of thing matters to me. Sign it; save it; keep it - or its gone!

Wonderful, looking forward to (a) a revisit to the Cinema Museum, and (b) hearing Neil again with Mark & Co performing as The Dodge Brothers alongside the 'silent' films

Gosh what a wonderful gem you have there. Worth preserving!

Lovely film, look forward to coming again and bringing my grandson who is desperate to see the Museum

This is beautiful, thank you

Marvellous.

Fascinating! And very definitely worth keeping.
