Glasgow Film Festival presents Welcome To: a programme shining a light on Black Scottish filmmaking Feature by Jamie Dunn | 02 Feb 2021
Film festivals fulfil many functions. They provide a platform for emerging and established artists to present their new work to audiences. They allow critics to take the temperature on whatâs happening in cinema around the world. They bring the film industry together to discuss the state of their profession and spark ideas off of one another. But perhaps the most important role of the film festival is as a portal to reappraise film legacies or cast a fresh eye over cinema history.
