The Glasgow Film Festival this year turns 20 years old, and is celebrating in style with a sparkling lineup that includes 69 UK premieres, 11 world and international premieres, and 15 Scottish premieres.
Screenings will take place across the city from 28 February to 10 March, with romantic crime thriller Love Lies Bleeding getting things off to a muscular start. In writer/director Rose Glass’ wildly ambitious follow-up to Saint Maud, gym owner Lou (Kristen Stewart) falls hard for bodybuilder Jackie (Katy M. O’Brian), who’s heading to glittering Las Vegas to pursue her dream but is instead pulled into a world of darkness. Closing the festival, meanwhile, is the world premiere of Janey, a frank, affecting, and so-funny-it-hurts documentary about Glasgow comedian Janey Godley, who embarked on her Not Dead Yet tour after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
