Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) has announced its 2022 programme - featuring 10 World premieres, four European premieres, 65 UK premieres, and 13 Scottish premieres.
The 18th edition of the annual festival, which runs from March 2 to 13, will open with the UK premiere of The Outfit, a gripping thriller starring Academy Award winner Mark Rylance, and close with the UK premiere of the Camera D’or-winning Murina, a tense family drama directed by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic and executive-produced by Martin Scorsese.
GFF Co-director Allan Hunter said: ‘Welcoming audiences old and new to the 2022 Glasgow Film Festival is a source of great joy and not a little relief. I think we have all missed that sense of community and discovery you experience at a festival. The team have watched more films than ever to compile a programme rich in its diversity and wonders.
"There are so many great films to recommend from around the world and I am especially excited by the abundance of Scottish stories and productions that showcase the country’s many shining talents. I can’t wait for people to pick their own favourites."
World premieres at GFF include Christina Ricci fleeing an abusive husband only to encounter more otherworldly horrors in Monstrous; Skint, a series of powerful monologues about living in poverty from a creative team led by Peter Mullan, Jenni Fagan, Cora Bissett and Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee and renowned Scottish war photographer David Pratt in Pictures From Iraq.
European premieres include Alan Cumming in the incredible true story of the 30-something Scot who enrolled back into the classroom in My Old School; and a look at legendary photo-journalist Stephen McCurry in McCurry: The Pursuit of Colour.
And the 13 Scottish premieres include Scottish director Ruth Paxton’s feature debut, A Banquet, and Ride the Wave, a documentary following 14-year-old Scottish surfing champion Ben Larg as he prepares to surf the world’s biggest waves.
GFF will also host a very exclusive preview screening of the first episode of Season 6 of STARZPLAY’s worldwide smash-hit Outlander and welcome Glasgow-born creative force Armando Iannucci with a very special live ‘In Conversation’ event.
