Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT)

The GFT is an independant arthouse cinema in a B-listed building. Originally, this was the first of it’s kind in Scotland, when it opened as The Cosmo in 1939. They screen new and classic films in three cinema rooms, and have two small bars serving drinks and snacks.

What is their USP?

They are one of the oldest independant cinemas in Scotland, and screen both old and new films.

What does it feel like inside?

The recently redesigned bars and foyer are elegant and feels warm. As it is an old cinema, the seating is packed tightly and is less comfortable than in a more recently built cinema. However, the tickets are relatively inexpensive and the films shown are varied, so it is accessible to student budgets.
