Glasgow Film Festival gives sneak peek at lineup for online event this year

Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) has unveiled part of its line up for the annual event taking place next year.

Although it was initially planned as a hybrid of in-cinema and online events, due the pandemic this year's event will take place solely online.

Taking place between February 24 and March 7, this year's festival will include six world premieres, two European premieres and 49 UK premieres.

World premieres will include Anthony Baxter's Eye of the Storm - and "an exploration of the life of punk rock’s least conventional front person Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché.  

A statement from GFF reads: "Originally planned as a hybrid in-cinema and online festival, GFF21 will now take place online only, due to the lockdown restrictions affecting most of Scotland and the rest of the UK. The festival will open on Wednesday 24 February with Lee Isaac Chung’s autobiographical drama following a Korean-American family Minari, starring The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun, and close on Sunday 7 March with Suzanne Lindon’s debut feature Spring Blossom, a coming-of-age tale set against a dreamy Parisian backdrop.

"This year’s Industry programme will run online between Monday 1 and Saturday 6 March. We are thrilled to announce a new scheme to support filmmakers around the UK, aged under 30, to access our full Industry programme for just £10, sponsored by MUBI.

"Passes are limited and we actively encourage applications from individuals currently under-represented in the screen industries, which includes writers, directors, and producers from ethnic minority backgrounds, disabled and D/deaf people, the LGBTIQI+ community, and women."

Tickets will go on sale from noon on Monday (January 28) and can be bought online HERE.
