Organisation Profile | Glasgow Film Theatre
Glasgow Film lead in the discovery of film and the moving image, where audiences of all ages can immerse themselves in and learn about the magnificence of film.
We are a not for profit organisation, linking people with world ideas through the power of cinema, promoting the cultural value of moving image work and the social benefits of collective experience of cinema, while not forgetting the magic of the movies. All profits are reinvested towards these aims. We are also a registered charity, and as such we need to raise financial support for our work. We also have a great board, staff and team of volunteers which helps us achieve these goals.
We take an up close and personal approach to our audiences, customers, communities and participants of our Learning programmes and projects and put these people at the heart of what we do. We listen to, respond to and work with our audiences ensuring that they know that we are here to deliver for them.
