Glasgow Film Festival, which runs from 24th February to 7th March 2021, has revealed the full programme for its 2021 festival, with screenings hosted on Glasgow Film’s new online viewing platform Glasgow Film At Home.
The programme contains 6 World premieres, 2 European premieres and 49 UK premieres.
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.
A movie written by Irvine Welsh and another starring Jodie Foster are among the features to debut at the 2021 Glasgow Film Festival (GFF).
Lockdown measures forced plans for a hybrid approach of screening films to be shelved, with the annual festival now online only from February 24 to March 7.
It will open with Lee Isaac Chung’s autobiographical drama Minari – following a Korean-American family and starring The Walking Dead actor Steven Yeun – and close with Suzanne Lindon’s debut feature Spring Blossom.
Scottish filmmaker Anthony Baxter’s Eye Of The Storm, which follows painter James Morrison through the last two years of his life, is one of the world premieres at this year’s festival.
