​Glasgow Film Theatre

​12 Rose St, G3 6RB
​1937, James McKissack and WJ Anderson II (Cat B)
Scotland's original independent cinema, the GFT, is housed in the former Cosmo Cinema. Opened in May 1939, this was the last cinema to be built in Glasgow before WW2. Open for tours of the cinema and projection box.
What began as a single screen cinema over 40 years ago has become Scotland’s most diverse and best publicly attended independent cinema in Scotland, with Glasgow Film Festival one of the top three film festivals in the UK. 
Glasgow Film is a national centre for film and moving image media where audiences and filmmakers experience and debate cultural practice and ideas through diverse, unique and quality programmes that transform the way people see the world, through film.
