The Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) is a beloved independent cinema that has been a cornerstone of the city's cultural scene since 1939. Housed in a striking Art Deco building, it screens a carefully curated mix of international films, documentaries, and re-releases, alongside mainstream hits. The GFT also hosts special events, director Q&As, and film festivals, making it a hub for cinephiles. Its two screens offer an intimate viewing experience, and the café bar is a popular spot for pre- or post-film discussions.

Don't miss

  • Catch a screening of a classic film from the GFT's extensive archive.
  • Attend a Q&A session with a visiting filmmaker or actor.
  • Relax in the stylish café bar with a drink before the show.
