There was a time when genre meant something. It wasn’t just a costume a film could wear, or a nostalgic gloss to sell another title. It was structure, myth, and identity. A precise rulebook to either follow or break with purpose. But somewhere in the last decade, genre got flattened. Everything became ironic, referential, self-aware to the point of emptiness. Every western had to be a deconstruction. Every samurai story needed quotation marks around it.

We're bringing three timeless classics back to the big screen—an unmissable chance to revisit these iconic films as they were meant to be seen, or to discover them for the first time in all their gothic glory.

Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a film that feels like opening a drawer in your grandparents’ house you weren’t supposed to find, and discovering a perfectly ordered trove of secrets, maps, and faded correspondences written in beautiful cursive.

Tom Cruise has become the face of action cinema thanks to his iconic role as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible series. Since the first film hit screens in 1996, Cruise has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible on film, literally. He’s scaled the world’s tallest building, clung to the side of a moving plane, and leapt from planes at 25,000 feet - all for real, with no stunt doubles.

As the anticipation builds for 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle’s long-awaited continuation of his iconic zombie saga, there’s no better time to revisit the film that started it all. And what better place to do it than at the Grosvenor Picture Theatre? Our beloved local venue is perfect for rediscovering modern horror on the big screen.

The horror genre has been enjoying a fantastic resurgence in recent years — and 2025 shows no signs of change; if anything, things are only looking up! Hot on the heels of Sinners, the next two months promise a non-stop slate of major releases, including Final Destination: Bloodlines, 28 Years Later, Meghan 2.0, and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Cinema has few masters as revered as Akira Kurosawa, and among his rich body of work, High and Low (1963) stands out as a suspenseful, morally complex, and visually commanding masterpiece. Screening at The Grosvenor on Tuesday, 6th May, this is a rare chance to experience a film that has influenced generations of filmmakers and is about to make headlines once again.

Moore International Entertainment and The Grosvenor Picture Theatre are excited to present a VINCENT PRICE DOUBLE FEATURE with HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH.

When The Worst Person in the World premiered in 2021, few could have predicted the cultural impact it would have just a few short years later. Directed by Joachim Trier and starring the luminous Renate Reinsve in a career-defining performance, this Norwegian romantic dramedy has quietly solidified its place as a modern classic. Now, film lovers in Glasgow have a rare chance to see it the way it was meant to be experienced , on the big screen, in an…

When a filmmaker like Ryan Coogler is handed a blank cheque by a major studio, it's more than just a financial gesture, it's a cultural moment.

When you think of an action hero, Rami Malek probably isn’t the first name that springs to mind. He’s cerebral, angular, and enigmatic—less "punch first, ask questions later" and more "question everything first, probably don’t punch at all." And yet, here he is in The Amateur, headlining a thriller that puts him in the lineage of lone-wolf spies and vengeance-driven protagonists. At first glance, it’s a strange fit. But lean in a little, and you’ll see something far more interesting:…

From April 29th - May 13th The Grosvenor Picture Theatre has teamed up with the GU International Film Society to screen a programme of classic films curated by their .

“I Don’t Believe In Vampires, But I Believe In My Own Two Eyes, And What I Saw Is F****** Vampires!”

​"Flow," directed by Latvian filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis, is a remarkable animated feature that took five and a half years to create using Blender, a free and open-source 3D software. The film's journey began in 2019, with Zilbalodis dedicating the first year to writing the script, mastering Blender, and seeking funding under his Dream Well Studio. ​

​A prevalent critique of Bong Joon-ho's latest film, Mickey 17, is that it doesn't replicate the essence of his Oscar-winning Parasite. However, upon closer examination, Mickey 17 mirrors Parasite in its incisive satire of 21st-century capitalism, employing Bong's signature to craft an "eat the rich" narrative with absurdist style and humour. Notably, the film distinguishes itself by embracing a playful tone, diverging from the somberness typical of Hollywood blockbusters from the usual suspects such as Christopher Nolan or Paul Thomas…

It’s completely understandable to feel hesitant about watching a film that tackles themes of depression and the suffocating grind of finding yourself trapped within a soulless corporate machine. The emotional weight of these topics can be difficult to face, and the idea of engaging with a film that reflects these harsh realities might feel overwhelming or even too close to home. However, it is precisely because of these themes that such a film is essential to experience.

GSFF is Scotland’s biggest short film event. This year, we’re proud to be hosting a selection of screenings at The Grosvenor Picture Theatre.
