Top secret screening of mystery-thriller LOST PLACE incl Q&A

Before Stranger Things, there was LOST PLACE.

Join us for a rare screening of the science-based mystery thriller that explored electromagnetic Cold War experiments THREE YEARS before it became a cultural phenomenon.

This isn't just any film—it's the debut feature from Lena & Thor, the founders of Skye Community Cinema. A lost gem, finally home.

About the film:

Four friends. One GPS scavenger hunt. An abandoned U.S. military facility hidden in the depths of a German forest. When strange cloud formations gather overhead and their phones start glitching, they know something is very wrong. Only their friendship can help them uncover the truth.

Celebrate the end of the year with us and our very own 'Jugendsünde' (youthful folly) LOST PLACE! Something completely different from our current film LEONORA IN THE MORNING LIGHT, which will have its British theatrical release this spring. Have a laugh—and a little scare—and get ready for a fantastic 2026 with Skye Community Cinema!

When: Tuesday, December 30th, doors 6.30pm, film start 7.00pm sharp

Where: Skye Gathering Hall Portree, 1934 Bank St, Portree IV51 9BZ

Tickets: 10 GBP at eventbrite or cash at door on the evening. Half price for 21y and under.

Anatole Taubman (the Bond villain from 'Quantum of Solace') is utterly convincing, delivering a tour-de-force performance as a (possibly unhinged?) scientist and conspiracy theorist. Germany's first 3D mystery thriller in Dolby Atmos captivates not just with its fascinating premise, but especially through its claustrophobic atmosphere and impressive technical craftsmanship.(filmstarts.de)

--> we won't be able to show the film in 3D/Dolby Atmos but it is still fun! ;)

About the Q&A guests:

LENA VURMA & THOR KLEIN are an award-winning filmmaking duo who met at the prestigious German Film and Television Academy (dffb) in Berlin, and have worked and lived together ever since.

Their first feature film, the 3D mystery thriller Lost Place, emerged fresh from film school and was distributed by Warner Bros. in Germany. They went on to create Adventures of a Mathematician (2020), a German-Polish-British co-production about mathematician Stan Ulam, which earned Vurma the highest Young Producer Award in Germany by VGF.

Currently, the duo are touring the world with their third feature film collaboration, Leonora in the Morning Light, a lush biographical drama about surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, ahead of its UK theatrical release in spring 2026.

In February 2022, Vurma and Klein founded Skye Community Cinema and in 2025 won Film Society of the Year, beating over 1,600 venues across the UK.

Our collaboration with Skyeskyns is back! Very happy we have the sheep fleeces back on our chairs for a comfy seating in the colder months :)
