Where is the Glasgow Film Festival being hosted?
The Glasgow Film Festival takes place at the Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) on Rose Street just off Sauchiehall Street.
The GFT is an independent cinema and is a registered charity. It occupies a purpose-built cinema which first opened in 1939.
The structure is now a category B-listed building, meaning it is of "special architectural or historic interest" and a "major" example of a "particular period, style or building type."
How many people are expected to attend the Glasgow Film Festival?
In 2023, the Glasgow Film Festival reported a 25% boost in cinema attendance with some 33,667 people attending screenings over the 12 days.
