Glasgow Film Festival started 28th February and runs until 10th March. The festival has provided audiences with plenty of wonderful cinematic experiences so far but the line-up is far from over.
The festival continues with Made in England: The Films of Powell & Pressburger going behind the scenes of tow of Britain’s greatest filmmakers – behind such classics as The Red Shoes & Peeping Tom, narrated by Martin Scorsese on Wed 6 March.
For those who never caught the premiere, Tummy Monster, screening again on Thurs 7 March sees rising star Lorn Macdonald as a “self-centered tattoo artist whose fixation on getting a selfie with a famous client embroils him in a bizarre and dangerous game”.Directed by Glagsow-based director Ciaran Lyons, this comic psychological thriller is not to be missed.
For enjoyers of trashy queer cinema, look no further than the 50th anniversary screening of John Water’s outrageous 1974 cult classic Female Trouble which follows anti-heroine Dawn (played by Divine) as she drops out of school and joins the criminal underworld all because her parents wouldn’t buy her a pair of cha-cha heels.
The festival closes on 10 March with the world premiere of Janey, an honest, moving and often deeply funny documentary about Glasgow comedian Janey Godley, following her Not Dead Yet tour. Following it’s world premiere, Janey will be released in UK cinemas from 15 March.
