Ball of Fire

We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

We are thrilled that acclaimed write Maria Fusco will host a special afternoon in the cinema starting with Howard Hawk’s screwball comedy Ball of Fire. This screening will be followed by a performance by award-winning Orcadian writer Harry Josephine Giles plus Q+A with Maria Fusco. Harry will also be running a workshop with pupils from Cromarty Primary school.
