Glasgow – “Cinema City”
Seventy years ago, Glasgow was home to over 130 picture places which could accommodate an astounding 175, 000 film fans every day. With more cinemas per person than any other city outside America, Glasgow earned the title “Cinema City’. This is not just a tour of the cinemas though – it’s a tour into its past and the present with the students of the modern day School of Art getting more involved with the city and its past than they would like.
Bridgeton cinema – There’s a death in the cinema here
Rosevale – one of the city’s largest cinemas – a death has been discovered here
Govanhall Cinema – It’s quite quirky this one as it’s now in a residential street but the great facade of this past picture house stands tall and proud.
Glasgow School of Art – Jude Evans disappears whilst photographing the Rosevale cinema. She goes to the school of Art.
