That the Parliament congratulates Annan’s Lonsdale Cinema on being voted one of the best cinemas in the UK at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA); recognises this as a remarkable achievement given that more than 70 cinemas entered the Cinema of the Year category and almost 50,000 votes were cast by cinema-goers across the UK to determine this year’s longlist; commends the hard work, dedication and commitment of everyone involved in keeping this valued community cinema thriving, and wishes the Lonsdale Cinema every success ahead of the announcement of the five finalists on 3 November 2026.
