Though 2011's Glasgow Film Festival may have been a hit with audiences, and a diverse selection of film events take place around Glasgow throughout the year, the city's love affair with cinema stretches back a long way. In the 1930s Glasgow was home to around 130 picture palaces, with residents seeing a film on average once a week. To celebrate the city's cinema-going legacy, Glasgow Film, the organisation behind the Film Theatre and Film Festival, recently launched a Cinema City project.
