After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit "The Penguin", the last of the nuns who raised them in a boarding school. They learn the Archdiocese will stop supporting the school and will sell the place to the Education Authority. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The Blues Brothers want to help, and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their "mission from God" they seem to make more enemies along the way. Will they manage to come up with the money in time?
This project has been supported through the Micro Grant Programme, and the Touring Cinema Fund.

Since PFT was launched in November 2014 we have entertained approximately 2,500 patrons.

Three years old and doing better every year!
Can you believe that Portrush Film Theatre is 3 years old? Seems like no time at all since a group of us got together and put £10 each into a kitty to be used for showing films in The Playhouse on a regular basis. Since then we've shown dozens of films, comedy, documentary, classic, new releases and locally made features. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who happily work hard to keep showing films. Perhaps you want to know more about us or would like to get involved? Come to our 3rd AGM on Thursday 5th October at 7pm in The Playhouse, Portrush, it will be followed by a screening of 3 short films, all made in N Ireland with at least one of the directors planning to attend for a Q&A. There is no charge for this evening and all are welcome.
25th Feb 2017
Thank you Basic Income Ireland!
I, Daniel Blake on 26th January was such a huge success that we were able to make a £200 donation to Basic Income Ireland. Tony Weekes from BSI gave an interesting input after the film and a lively discussion followed. Basic Income Ireland is a network of people working towards making universal basic income a reality in Ireland. Everyone is welcome to get involved, in big or small ways. You can also join their email list, to receive reports of their meetings and other notifications. Please send an email to basic.income@nuim.ie

Thursday 9th March: The Fits 2015 (72 mins) USA. This multi award winning drama tells the story of 11year old boxer Toni (Royalty Hightower) who works out at the gym where a dance troupe practice and despite herself she joins the group, trying to fit in at a time when the group are mysteriously afflicted with fits.

Building Relationships
Nigel (our projectionist+) has teamed up with Intofilm and will be showing two films for schools in March. This is a great opportunity as Nigel had been keen to set up a PFT for kids and Intofilm will do all the groundwork leaving us to simply show the film on the day.
Coincidentally, Ulster University have secured a bit of funding to run about six family films during April-June on Saturdays, the dates and titles are yet to be decided but the idea is that the Uni shows films along with PFT as a way of reaching families who wouldn't identify with the Uni normally.

Forum Finished!
A format for the forum has been finalised. I have tried to give it the "feel" of the main site and hopefully have succeeded. I have resisted the temptation to "spruce it up" with all sorts of modifications so it is quite a basic forum. Hopefully those with an interest in our group and a general interest in films will make use of it.
12th December 2014
Forum Live!
The forum is up an running. I'm trying to make it look and feel more like the main site so it will periodically change. Feel free to register using the link above.

The Playhouse Story
A "colourful" past is one way to describe it but did you know it opened in 1939? Construction began in the 1930's and The Majestic Cinema opened on 7th April 1939 (Good Friday). It had seating for 792 in stalls and circle levels and the proscenium was 40 feet wide. Initially operated by an independent operator, it was later taken over by the Curran Cinemas chain.
Locally-made Bad Day For the Cut came to Portrush on the second night of it's tour of independent film groups and had our audience gripped right to the end. Nigel O' Neill's performance never falters as he emerges from mild-mannered farmer living with his mother, to become a man bent on revenge and stopping at nothing to achieve it. A cracking story from Chris Baugh and Brendan Mullin. If you had chosen to watch NI get beaten by Switzerland 1-0 due to the 'worst penalty in history' instead, then poor you!

The Playhouse Cinema Opens!
For 40 years it operated as a successfully and was taken over by the Rank Organisation in the 1950’s. Initially, it was very successful but it began to suffer a decline until it closed in 1970. The building lay unused for several years, then in 1977, it was re-opened as The Playhouse Cinema by an independent operator. The seating capacity was reduced to 360, using the former circle only and the former stalls werechanged and used as an amusement arcade. It had closed again by 1980 however following a further re-furbishment The Playhouse Cinema re-opened in 1993 and in the Summer of 1997 a second 50-seat screen was created in the former rear stalls area. The the former circle screen now seated 315.
The Recent Years
It was closed in 2006, but was re-opened by the Movie House Cinemas chain in April 2007. However, by May 2008 it had closed once more. In early December 2008 major plans were proposed to revamp the building into a combined bar, cinema and theatre and with AJM Event Management Ltd. at the helm The Playhouse enjoyed a prosperous period for around 3 years where they hosted a myriad of top names including The Hothouse Flowers, The Outcasts and Ash as well as many top tribute bands. Although it did not actually close the past 2 years has seen limited use.
The Playhouse Today
A number of groups presently use The Playhouse and of couse it is an ideal place for Portrush FILM Theatre. Recent refurbishment means we can use the large cinema for our showings and with recently upgraded sound system and projector we promise you will enjoy an evening with us!
With it's amazing Art Deco architecture still intact, The Playhouse is a wonderful building. Despite extensive refurbishment over the years and recent modernisation, improvements have been carried out in such a way that The Playhouse has remained true to it's original, 1930's design.
