GLASGOW Film Festival (GFF) will this year feature Welcome To, a programme of films and events, with a focus on black Scottish films, filmmakers and history, from March 4 to 6.
Programmed by Tomiwa Folorunso and Natasha Ruwona, the programme focuses on and attempts to collate some of the many contributions made by black people in Scotland, as well as bringing to the forefront the presences of those who have and do walk the land.
Welcome To will screen six films, a mix of shorts and feature-lengths, divided into two main focuses. The first, Welcome To: A Focus On Black Women Filmmakers, will showcase Adura Onashile’s 2020 short, Expensive Shit, which follows a Nigerian toilet attendant desperate for survival forced to manipulate unsuspecting women for men watching from behind a two-way mirror in a Glasgow club.
