London Film Festival 2024 in Scotland: Here are all the films getting exclusive screenings in Glasgow

Since 2018 LFF chiefs have expanded the event to include simultaneous screenings of films in cinemas across the country, the first being Peter Jackson's 'They Shall Not Grow Old'.

The last few years have seen a string of films included in the scheme, last year alone inviting audiences to sneal previews of future hits such as Saltburn, All Of Us Strangers and The Holdovers.

In 2024 as Edinburgh's Filmhouse is currently closed, the only cinema to take part this year will be the Glasgow Film Theatre.

Here are all the films you can see, and when you can see them at the GFT. Tickets are available here from Tuesday, September 17.
