"The Bright Stream" screens on the 29th of April 2012 and "Raymonda" on the 24th of June. It may not be as classy or sophisticated at going to the cinema in Russia but for a lot less you can experience a Russian ballet live in the chilled out style of the Grosvenor. Not everyone's cup of tea but you can't argue that the Grosvenor doesn't go that bit further than the larger cinemas.

Little bit of class
Ever wanted
to see a Russian Ballet live? You can experience the Bolshoi Ballet in the GFT
as they stream live from the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Theatre has always been
a huge part of Russian culture, especially in Moscow, so the Bolshoi Ballet is
extremely appreciated. You can save mass amounts of money viewing from the GFT
than travelling all the way to Russia to see “The Bright Stream” or “Raymonda”.

"See more, hear more, feel more"
"Filmmaking's not about the tiny details - it's about the big picture."
Ed Wood, 1994
The big thing right now in cinema seems to be 3D and IMAX. 3D films seem to be taking over to give you that extra sense of realism that you are in the moment and experiencing every aspect of the film. IMAX takes this idea further for the "ultimate" cinema experience with the Science Centre's IMAX claiming you will "see more, hear more, feel more".

3D films can be experienced in the Odeon and Cineworld as 3D films come with 3D glasses but for that extra push for the best experience possible, IMAX cinemas are available in the Science Centre and the Odeon at Braehead. IMAX screens are bigger to fit in all that extra detail that the 3D films contain so you can get the full impact of it. If you're looking to see a new release on an IMAX screen you may be better to trying the Odeon as the Science Centre mostly show films on space and nature.
Not only are newly released films brought out in 3D but they are also bringing older films back into the cinema in 3D for example the Lion King was a hit last year and this years big 3D remake to hit the screens is Titanic, out in April.
You might want to jump on the band wagon and try a 3D film to enrich your movie experience. Here's a video of how it works.

Learn something new today
The Glasgow Film
Theatre not only shows films to entertain the community but also show educating
films and runs educating workshops. From cult movies to documentaries about
fashion, films shown can educate and inspire the audience. The GFT decided to
take educating through the cinema to another level by running courses on film
and discussion groups over film to give that extra push of community to Glasgow
cinemas.
The current courses running are Contemporary Cinema 1 and The Films of Pedro Almodovar, both must be paid for priced at £71 and £43 respectively and are used to teach the community about films and the cinema. This adds culture to the cinema, it not only educates the participants but also brings that sense of worth to the community that these other chain cinemas don’t have. These courses may be a bit pricey but they help fund the GFT to keep it running, although with the help of Glasgow City Council and Creative Scotland do they really need it? You can also avoid spending money though with free workshops about film which are run like discussion groups.
The GFT may not be your first choice of cinema for a night out but when looking for knowledge of film and somewhere to discuss your opinions the GFT is most definitely the place for you. The GFT will educate you no matter what your previous education, so if you’re over 18 and have a passion for film you should try out a course at the GFT. You can also catch the latest documentaries to teach you about important matters and issues. If under 18, there is still something for you, you can take part in the GFT's school programme which gets kids involved in the Glasgow Youth Film Festival. So why not try something a little bit different today?
