                                 PROXY STATEMENT

      This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of The Gabelli  Global  Multimedia  Trust Inc.
(the "Trust") for use at the Annual Meeting of  Shareholders  of the Trust to be
held on  Monday,  May 9, 2005,  at 10:00  a.m.,  at The Round  Hill Room,  Hyatt
Regency Greenwich,  1800 East Putnam Avenue,  Old Greenwich,  Connecticut 06870,
and at any adjournments  thereof (the "Meeting").  A Notice of Annual Meeting of
Shareholders  and proxy card  accompany this Proxy  Statement,  all of which are
first being mailed to shareholders on or about April 15, 2005.

      In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail,  officers of the Trust
and  officers  and  regular   employees   of   EquiServe   Trust   Company  N.A.
("EquiServe"),  the Trust's transfer agent, and affiliates of EquiServe or other
representatives  of the Trust also may solicit proxies by telephone,  telegraph,
Internet or in person.  In addition,  the Trust has  retained The Altman  Group,
Inc. to assist in the  solicitation  of proxies for a minimum fee of $2,500 plus
reimbursement of expenses.  The costs of the proxy solicitation and the expenses
incurred in connection  with  preparing the Proxy  Statement and its  enclosures
will be paid by the Trust.  The Trust will also  reimburse  brokerage  firms and
others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial
owners of its shares.

      THE  TRUST'S  MOST  RECENT  ANNUAL  REPORT,  INCLUDING  AUDITED  FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS  FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER  31,  2004,  IS  AVAILABLE  UPON
REQUEST,  WITHOUT CHARGE, BY WRITING TO THE TRUST AT ONE CORPORATE CENTER,  RYE,
NEW YORK 10580-1422, BY CALLING THE TRUST AT 800-422-3554 OR VIA THE INTERNET AT
WWW.GABELLI.COM.

      If the  enclosed  proxy is properly  executed  and  returned in time to be
voted at the Meeting,  the Shares (as defined below) represented thereby will be
voted "FOR" the election of the nominees as Directors listed in the accompanying
Notice of Annual Meeting of  Shareholders,  unless  instructions to the contrary
are  marked  thereon,  and in the  discretion  of the  proxy  holders  as to the
transaction of any other business that may properly come before the Meeting. Any
shareholder  who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time  prior
to its exercise  either by attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares in
person or by submitting a letter of  revocation  or a  later-dated  proxy to the
Trust at the above address prior to the date of the Meeting.

      A quorum of  shareholders  is  constituted by the presence in person or by
proxy of the  holders  of a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares  of the Trust
entitled  to vote at the  Meeting.  In the event a quorum is not  present at the
Meeting,  or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient
votes to approve any of the proposed  items are not received,  the persons named
as  proxies  may  propose  one or more  adjournments  of such  Meeting to permit
further  solicitation of proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more
of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient
votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate.  Any such
adjournment  will  require the  affirmative  vote of a majority of those  shares
present  at the  Meeting  in  person or by proxy.  If a quorum is  present,  the
persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote
"FOR" any  proposal  in favor of such  adjournment  and will vote those  proxies
required to be voted "AGAINST" any proposal against such adjournment. Absent the
establishment  of a  subsequent  record  date and the  giving  of  notice to the
holders of record thereon,  the adjourned  Meeting must take place not more than
120 days after the record date. At such adjourned  Meeting,  any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum
is  present,  a  shareholder  vote may be taken on one or more of the  proposals
properly brought before the Meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes
have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Auction Rate Cumulative  Preferred  Stock ("Series C Preferred"),  each having a
par value of $0.001 per share  (together,  the "Preferred  Stock") and (together
with the Common  Stock,  the  "Shares").  The  holders  of the Common  Stock and
Preferred  Stock  are each  entitled  to one vote for  each  full  share  and an

      The Board of Directors is divided into three classes,  each class having a
term of three  years.  Each year the term of office  of one class  will  expire.
Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., Werner J. Roeder, MD, and Salvatore J. Zizza have each
been  nominated by the Board of Directors for a three year term to expire at the
Trust's 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders  or until their  successors are duly
elected and  qualified.  Each of the  Directors  of the Trust has served in that
capacity  since the April 6, 1994  organizational  meeting of the Trust with the
exception  of (i) Mr.  Fahrenkopf,  who became a Director of the Trust on August
18, 1999,  (ii) Dr.  Roeder,  who became a Director of the Trust on November 17,
1999 and (iii) Mr.  Colavita,  who became a Director  of the Trust on August 15,

      Under the Trust's Articles of  Incorporation,  Articles  Supplementary and
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),  holders of the
Trust's outstanding Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to
elect two  Directors,  and holders of the Trust's  outstanding  Common Stock and
Preferred  Stock,  voting as a single class, are entitled to elect the remaining
Directors, subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Trust's Articles of
Incorporation,  Articles  Supplementary and By-Laws.  The holders of the Trust's
outstanding  Preferred  Stock would be  entitled to elect the minimum  number of
additional  Directors  that would  represent a majority of the  Directors in the
event that dividends on the Trust's  Preferred Stock are in arrears for two full
years.  No  dividend  arrearages  exist as of the date of this Proxy  Statement.
Messrs.  Colavita and Conn are  currently the  Directors  elected  solely by the
holders  of the  Trust's  Preferred  Stock and are not up for  election  at this
meeting.

      Unless authority is withheld,  it is the intention of the persons named in
the proxy to vote the proxy "FOR" the election of the nominees named above. Each
nominee has indicated that he has consented to serve as a Director if elected at
the Meeting.  If a designated nominee declines or otherwise becomes  unavailable
for  election,  however,  the proxy confers  discretionary  power on the persons
named therein to vote in favor of a substitute nominee or nominees.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

      The  role of the  Trust's  Audit  Committee  is to  assist  the  Board  of
Directors  in its  oversight  of (i) the  quality and  integrity  of the Trust's
financial  statement  reporting  process and the  independent  audit and reviews
therof;  (ii) the  Trust's  accounting  and  financial  reporting  policies  and
practices,  its internal controls and, as appropriate,  the internal controls of
certain of its service  providers;  (iii) the Trust's  compliance with legal and
regulatory  requirements;  and (iv) the independent registered public accounting
firm's qualifications, independence and performance. The Audit Committee also is
required  to  prepare an audit  committee  report  pursuant  to the rules of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") for  inclusion in the Trust's
annual  proxy  statement.  The Audit  Committee  operates  pursuant to the Audit
Committee  Charter (the "Charter") that was most recently  reviewed and approved
by the Board of Directors on February 16, 2005.


                                       7


      Pursuant to the Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring
with the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing annual
financial  statements,  approving  the  selection  of  the  Trust's  independent
registered public accounting firm and overseeing the Trust's internal  controls.
The Charter also contains  provisions  relating to the pre-approval by the Audit
Committee of certain non-audit services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP  ("PricewaterhouseCoopers")  to the Trust and to the  Adviser and certain of
its  affiliates.  The Audit  Committee  advises  the full Board with  respect to
accounting,  auditing and financial matters affecting the Trust. As set forth in
the Charter,  management is responsible for maintaining  appropriate systems for
accounting and internal control,  and the Trust's independent  registered public
accounting  firm is responsible  for planning and carrying out proper audits and
reviews.  The  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  is  ultimately
accountable  to  the  Board  of  Directors  and  to  the  Audit  Committee,   as
representatives  of shareholders.  The independent  registered public accounting
firm for the Trust reports directly to the Audit Committee.

      In performing  its oversight  function,  at a meeting held on February 11,
2005, the Audit  Committee  reviewed and discussed with  management of the Trust
and  PricewaterhouseCoopers  the audited financial statements of the Trust as of
and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and discussed the audit of such
financial statements with the independent registered public accounting firm.

      In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered
public accounting firm the accounting  principles  applied by the Trust and such
other matters brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by the independent
registered  public  accounting firm required by Statement of Auditing  Standards
No.  61,  COMMUNICATIONS  WITH  AUDIT  COMMITTEES,   as  currently  modified  or
supplemented.  The Audit Committee also received from the independent registered
public  accounting firm the written  disclosures and statements  required by the
SEC's  independence  rules,  delineating  relationships  between the independent
registered  public  accounting  firm and the Trust and discussed the impact that
any such  relationships  might have on the objectivity  and  independence of the
independent registered public accounting firm.

      As set forth above, and as more fully set forth in the Charter,  the Audit
Committee has  significant  duties and powers in its oversight role with respect
to the Trust's financial reporting procedures,  internal control systems and the
independent audit process.

      The  members  of the  Audit  Committee  are  not,  and  do  not  represent
themselves  to  be,  professionally  engaged  in the  practice  of  auditing  or
accounting  and  are  not  employed  by  the  Trust  for  accounting,  financial
management or internal control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on
and  makes  no  independent  verification  of  the  facts  presented  to  it  or
representations  made by management  or  independent  verification  of the facts
presented to it or representations made by management or the Trust's independent
registered public accounting firm. Accordingly,  the Audit Committee's oversight
does  not  provide  an  independent  basis  to  determine  that  management  has
maintained  appropriate  accounting  and/or financial  reporting  principles and
policies,  or internal  controls and procedures,  designed to assure  compliance
with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.  Furthermore, the
Audit  Committee's  considerations  and  discussions  referred  to  above do not
provide  assurance that the audit of the Trust's  financial  statements has been
carried out in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company  Accounting
Oversight Board (United  States) or that the financial  statements are presented
in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles (United States of
America).

      Based on its  consideration  of the audited  financial  statements and the
discussions  referred  to above  with  management  and the  Trust's  independent
registered  public  accounting  firm,  and  subject  to the  limitations  on the
responsibilities  and role of the Audit  Committee  set forth in the Charter and
those discussed above,  the Audit Committee  recommended to the Trust's Board of
Directors  that the  Trust's  audited  financial  statements  be included in the
Trust's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      The Audit  Committee  met twice during the fiscal year ended  December 31,

such term is defined by the New York Stock  Exchange,  Inc.'s listing  standards
(the "NYSE Listing Standards")) Directors,  namely Messrs. Pustorino, Roeder and
Zizza.  Each member of the Audit  Committee has been  determined by the Board of

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

      The  Board of  Directors  has a  Nominating  Committee  composed  of three
independent (as such term is defined by the NYSE Listing  Standards)  Directors,
namely Messrs.  Colavita,  Roeder and Zizza.  The Nominating  Committee met once
during the fiscal year ended  December 31,  2004.  The  Nominating  Committee is
responsible  for  identifying  and   recommending  to  the  Board  of  Directors
individuals believed to be qualified to become Board members in the event that a
position is vacated or created.  The Nominating Committee will consider Director
candidates  recommended by shareholders.  In considering candidates submitted by
shareholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of
the Board of Directors, the qualifications of the candidate and the interests of
shareholders.  The  Nominating  Committee may also take into  consideration  the
number of shares  held by the  recommending  shareholder  and the length of time
that such shares have been held. To recommend a candidate for  consideration  by
the  Nominating  Committee,  a  shareholder  must submit the  recommendation  in
writing and must include the following information:

      o     The  name  of the  shareholder  and  evidence  of the  shareholder's
            ownership  of shares of the  Trust,  including  the number of shares
            owned and the length of time of ownership;

      o     The name of the candidate,  the  candidate's  resume or a listing of
            his or her  qualifications  to be a  Director  of the  Trust and the
            person's  consent  to be  named as a  Director  if  selected  by the
            Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board of Directors; and

      o     If requested by the  Nominating  Committee,  a completed  and signed
            director's questionnaire.

      The shareholder  recommendation  and  information  described above must be
sent to James E. McKee, the Trust's Secretary,  c/o Gabelli Funds, LLC, and must
be received by the Secretary no less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date
of the Trust's most recent annual meeting of shareholders or, if the meeting has
moved by more than 30 days, a reasonable amount of time before the meeting.

      The  Nominating  Committee  believes that the minimum  qualifications  for
serving  as a  Director  of the Trust are that the  individual  demonstrate,  by
significant  accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful
contribution to the Board of Directors' oversight of the business and affairs of
the Trust and have an impeccable  record and  reputation  for honest and ethical
conduct in both his or her  professional and personal  activities.  In addition,
the Nominating Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills,
time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest
and independence  from management and the Trust.  The Nominating  Committee also
seeks to have the Board of Directors  represent a diversity of  backgrounds  and
experience.


                                       9


      The Trust's  Nominating  Committee  adopted a charter on May 12, 2004, and
amended  the  charter on  November  17,  2004.  The  charter can be found on the
Trust's website at www.gabelli.com.

OTHER BOARD-RELATED MATTERS

      The Board of Directors has established  the following  procedures in order
to facilitate communications between the Board and the shareholders of the Trust
and other interested parties.

RECEIPT OF COMMUNICATIONS

      Shareholders  and other  interested  parties  may contact the Board or any
member of the Board by mail or electronically.  To communicate with the Board or
any member of the Board,  correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the
Board  member(s) with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title.  All
such  correspondence  should be sent c/o the Trust at One Corporate Center, Rye,
NY, 10580-1422.  To communicate with the Board electronically,  shareholders may
send an e-mail to gabellifundsboard@gabelli.com.

FORWARDING THE COMMUNICATIONS

      All  communications  received  will be opened by the office of the General
Counsel of the Adviser for the sole purpose of determining  whether the contents
represent a message to one or more Directors.  The office of the General Counsel
will forward  promptly to the addressee(s) any contents that relate to the Trust
and that  are not in the  nature  of  advertising,  promotion  of a  product  or
service, or patently offensive or otherwise  objectionable material. In the case
of communications to the Board of Directors or any committee or group of members
of the Board, the General  Counsel's  office will make sufficient  copies of the
contents to send to each  Director  who is a member of the group or committee to
which the envelope or e-mail is addressed.

      The Trust does not expect  Directors  or Nominees for election as Director
to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

      The  following  table  sets  forth  certain   information   regarding  the
compensation  of the Trust's  Directors  and  officers for the fiscal year ended
December  31, 2004.  Ms.  Nguyen is employed by the Trust and is not employed by
the Adviser (although she may receive incentive-based variable compensation from
affiliates  of the  Adviser).  Officers  of the  Trust who are  employed  by the
Adviser receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Trust.

material indirect financial interest of  PricewaterhouseCoopers  in the Trust. A
representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers will not be present at the Meeting, but

respectively.

----------
*     Includes non-recurring fees billed by  PricewaterhouseCoopers to the Trust
      in connection with the initial  offering of each series of Preferred Stock
      of the Trust.

**    "Audit-Related   Fees"   are   those   fees   billed   to  the   Trust  by
      PricewaterhouseCoopers  in connection  with the  preparation  of Preferred
      Shares Reports to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings.

***   "Tax Fees" are those fees billed by  PricewaterhouseCoopers  in connection
      with tax  compliance  services,  including  primarily  the  review  of the
      Trust's income tax returns.

      The Trust's Audit  Committee  Charter  requires  that the Audit  Committee
pre-approve  all audit and non-audit  services to be provided by the independent
registered public accounting firm to the Trust, and all non-audit services to be
provided by the  independent  registered  public  accounting firm to the Trust's
Adviser and service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Trust's Adviser  ("affiliates")  that provide on-going  services to the
Trust (a "Covered Services Provider"), if the engagement relates directly to the
operations  and  financial  reporting  of the  Trust.  The Audit  Committee  may
delegate  its  responsibility  to  pre-approve  any such  audit and  permissible
non-audit services to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Chairman must
report his decision(s) to the Audit Committee,  at its next regularly  scheduled
meeting after the Chairman's  pre-approval of such services. The Audit Committee
may  also   establish   detailed   pre-approval   policies  and  procedures  for
pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws,  including the
delegation of some or all of the Audit Committee's pre-approval responsibilities
to other persons (other than the Adviser or the Trust's officers).  Pre-approval
by the Audit Committee of any permissible  non-audit services is not required so
long as: (i) the aggregate  amount of all such  permissible  non-audit  services
provided to the Trust, the Adviser and any Covered Services Provider constitutes
not more  than 5% of the  total  amount  of  revenues  paid by the  Trust to its
independent  registered  public  accounting firm during the fiscal year in which
the permissible non-audit services are provided;  (ii) the permissible non-audit
services were not  recognized  by the Trust at the time of the  engagement to be
non-audit  services;  and  (iii)  such  services  are  promptly  brought  to the
attention  of the Audit  Committee  and  approved by the Audit  Committee or the
Chairman prior to the completion of the audit.  All of the audit,  audit-related
and tax  services  described  above for which  PricewaterhouseCoopersbilled  the
Trust fees for the fiscal  years ended  December  31, 2003 and December 31, 2004
were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

      For   the    Trust's    fiscal    year   ended    December    31,    2004,
PricewaterhouseCoopershas  represented  to the Trust that it did not provide any
non-audit  services  (or bill any fees for such  services) to the Adviser or any
affiliates thereof that provide services to the Trust.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

      Gabelli  Funds,  LLC is the  Trust's  Adviser  and  Administrator  and its
business address is One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

      Section  16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section  30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the
rules  thereunder,  require the Trust's  officers  and  Directors,  officers and
directors of the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser, and per-


                                       12


sons who own more than 10% of a registered  class of the Trust's  securities  to
file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the New York
Stock  Exchange,  Inc. and to furnish the Trust with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.  Based solely on the Trust's review of the copies of such forms
it received for the calendar year ended  December 31, 2004,  the Trust  believes
that during that year such  persons  complied  with all such  applicable  filing
requirements.

BROKER NON-VOTES AND ABSTENTIONS

      For  purposes of  determining  the  presence  of a quorum for  transacting
business at the Meeting,  abstentions and broker  "non-votes"  (that is, proxies
from  brokers  or  nominees  indicating  that  such  persons  have not  received
instructions  from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares
on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have
discretionary  power)  will be treated as shares  that are present but that have
not been voted.  Accordingly,  shareholders  are urged to forward  their  voting
instructions promptly.

      The affirmative  vote of a plurality of votes cast for each Nominee by the
shareholders  entitled to vote for a  particular  Nominee is  necessary  for the
election of a Director.  Abstentions or broker  non-votes will not be counted as
votes  cast and will have no effect on the  result of the vote.  Abstentions  or
broker non-votes,  however,  will be considered to be present at the Meeting for
purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

      Shareholders  of the Trust will be informed  of the voting  results of the
Meeting in the Trust's Semi-Annual Report dated June 30, 2005.

                    OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

      The Directors of the Trust do not intend to present any other  business at
the  Meeting,  nor are they  aware  that any  shareholder  intends to do so. If,
however, any other matters, including adjournments,  are properly brought before
the Meeting,  the persons named in the  accompanying  Proxy will vote thereon in
accordance with their judgment.

                              SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

      All  proposals  by  shareholders  of the Trust  which are  intended  to be
presented at the Trust's next Annual Meeting of  Shareholders to be held in 2006
must be received by the Trust for  consideration  for  inclusion  in the Trust's
proxy  statement  and proxy  relating to that meeting no later than December 16,
2005. There are additional requirements regarding proposals of shareholders, and
a shareholder  contemplating  submission of a proposal is referred to Rule 14a-8
under the 1934 Act.

      IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT
EXPECT TO ATTEND THE MEETING ARE  THEREFORE  URGED TO COMPLETE,  SIGN,  DATE AND
RETURN THE PROXY CARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE.
