40 Years of Movie Magic

28 April 2014

"Cinema for all"

Glasgow Film Theatre celebrates it's 40th anniversary. It opened in 1974 and has been an instutution in Glasgow since.

GFT has 90,000 admissions per screen compared to an average of 45,000. What that means is the cinema takes its fair share of wear and tear.

A not-for-profit organisation, most of GFT funding coming from ticket sales, the bars and private hires, core public partners include Creative Scotland and Glasgow City Council with additional investment from Glasgow City Marketing Bureau (People Make Glasgow), EventScotland and the British Film Institute for Glasgow Film Festival.
