GET DIRECTIONS

Under the stewardship of Glasgow Film for half a century, our screens show new releases, thematic seasons, rarely screened classics and undiscovered gems, expertly curated by our in-house programming team.

Alongside our many programming partners we champion underrepresented filmmakers as well as all-too-often overlooked cinema from around the globe.  

We have meticulously modernised our film technology whilst honouring our rich cinema heritage and our commitment to the unique craft of 35mm and 70mm film projection.

We’ve invested in a world class film-going experience including vital accessibility features to support all audiences and our refurbished art deco interiors make every casual visit feel like an occasion.

As a registered educational charity since 1986, Glasgow Film has evolved from a single screen cinema into a thriving three screen hub of activity where children, families, and young people can learn about film, communities can come together, and filmmakers of the future can develop their careers.

We recently celebrated the 20th edition of the renowned Glasgow Film Festival, a legacy that has widened our international reach and helped to nurture our dedicated and diverse film going community that celebrates cinema in all its technicolour (and monochromatic) glory.
