Shetland Arts will be teaming up with the Shetland Foodbank for two special charity film screenings of Back to the Future in early November.

Customers will be able to bring a donation of non-perishable food items (or money donation) and swap it for a ticket to see the classic film on the big screen.

Simply bring your donation to the cinema on the day (the more you bring, the bigger the impact!). Your contributions will go directly to The Shetland Foodbank to help those in need. No need to book in advance, just turn up, donate and enjoy the movie and help support our community.

Graeme Howell, Shetland Arts’ CEO, says, “We’re delighted to be teaming up with Shetland Foodbank for these special screenings. Back to the Future is a film people love returning to, and this is a chance to enjoy it on the big screen. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference, and we’re really looking forward to welcoming people along to Mareel for a great cause.

Screenings:

  • Sunday 2 November, 4pm (Screen 2)
  • Thursday 6 November, 6:30pm (Screen 1)

Back to the Future is back on screens for its 40th anniversary. When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is blasted to 1955 in the DeLorean time machine created by eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he finds himself mixed up in a time-shattering chain reaction that could vaporise his future - and leave him trapped in the past.
