The Glasgow Film Festival returns for a programme bursting with premières, special screenings, guest speakers and workshops across the city. Incorporating mini-festivals and "various strands" focusing on different genres, it brings every facet of cinema to the heart of Scotland's commercial centre.
With events in over ten city venues, though principally the Art Deco halls of the Glasgow Film Theatre, the festival celebrates the past and welcomes the future in film, from Scotland and Britain as well as international fare. The four mini festivals comprise Shorts, Frightfest, Music and Film and, finally, Youth featuring features created by, made for, and starring young people. As it happens, the Youth Film Festival starts the day before the main festival and ends a day early.
