Future My Love

Friday 27 – Monday 30 December After the breakdown of Glasgow-based, Swedish-born filmmaker Maja Borg’s relationship, she checks herself into the Edenic Florida retreat of social theorist Jacque Fresco, whose radical life theory proposes we should abandon money and do everything for love, not financial reward. Borg talks to Floridians about their dissatisfaction with the capitalist system they’re living in, and poses Fresco’s ideas as a possible solution for us all.

The screening on Monday 30 December (17.50) will be followed by a Q&A with director Maja Borg Director Maja Borg UK/Sweden 2012, 1h37m, 12A: Contains infrequent strong language

All is Lost

The Patience Stone

Friday 27 – Monday 30 December In a bomb-shelled bedroom deep in an unnamed war torn Middle Eastern country, a beautiful Afghan woman tends to her paralysed husband. Finally able to speak her mind, she tells her silent spouse all of her troubles and sorrows. Through doing so, the husband unconsciously assumes the role of a mystical ‘syngué sabour’ – a patience stone, shielding the woman from the unhappiness of her patriarchal society. Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani gives a shockingly mesmerising performance in Atiq Rahimi’s evocative adaptation of his own bestselling novel.

Director Atiq Rahimi Cast Golshifteh Farahani, Hamid Djavadan, Hassina Burgan Afghanistan/France/Germany/UK 2012, 1h42m, subtitles, CTBC

W imie…

Thursday 2 – Saturday 4 January Adam, a Catholic priest, cares for young males with troubled pasts. However, his embrace of a papal existence is an escape from his homosexual longing. When Lukasz, a strange silent young man, joins the parish, Adam finds it increasingly difficult to repress his true feelings.

Writer-director Malgorzata Szumowska finds poignancy and sensitive psychological drama in Adams situation, supported by uniformly outstanding performances from the cast.

Thursday 2 – Saturday 4 January A renegade cop and a bereaved, vengeful father retreat to a little house in the woods to torture a schoolteacher accused of murdering a string of pre-teen girls. Hailed

by Quentin Tarantino as ‘the best film of 2013’, Keshales and Papushado’s follow up to 2010’s Rabies unfolds like a darkly twisted fairytale, all slow-burning intensity and unpredictable revelations. A trio of powerhouse performances, bursts of inky black humour and subtly woven meditations on Israeli-Arab relations make this unhappily ever after one you’re not likely to forget.

Directors Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado Cast Rotem Keinan, Lior Ashkenazi, Tzahi Grad / France 2013 Israel 2013, 1h50m, subtitles, 18

Computer Chess

Friday 27 December – Thursday 6 January An unnamed, unaccompanied sailor (Robert Redford) is marooned at sea after a collision with a shipping container. Director J C Chandor (Margin Call) worked with a crew largely comprising of veterans from big-budget aquatic blockbusters like Master and Commander. However, this character-driven, bold new release takes the stranded-at-sea yarn and strips it back into a spare, experimental exploration of mortality. Amidst the bare bones of the story, Robert Redford gives an emotionally resonant, virtually dialogue-free portrayal of a man reduced to basic survival instinct.

Sunday 29 (15.30/20.00) & Monday 30 December (13.50/18.20) In the 1980s, in an isolated roadside hotel, a group of computer programmers gather for a chess tournament with a difference: the contest is not between them, but between the chess programmes they have created. Peter, a junior programmer, starts to suspect that his team’s computer is displaying signs of self-consciousness, by detecting the difference between human and computer competitors. His suspicion is peaked when another team member informs Peter that the computer has been engaging in philosophical ‘conversation’ with him. It thinks, therefore…

The Railway Man

Inside Llewyn Davis

Thursday 2 – Thursday 23 January Eric Lomax, a British officer stationed in Singapore during the Second World War, is captured and forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway; otherwise known as ‘Death Railway’. Years later, he meets the beautiful Patricia Wallace and falls in love. Realising that the demons of his past are still present, Patricia embarks on a journey that will test the boundaries of strength, devotion and forgiveness. Adapted from Eric Lomax’s bestselling autobiography, this true-life tale unites two of modern cinema’s most acclaimed actors for the first time.

Friday 24 January – Thursday 6 February The latest film from the ever-formidable Coen brothers, after their revisionist Western True Grit, catapults audiences into the New York folk scene of the early 1960s. Oscar Isaac portrays the titular Llewyn Davis, a dishevelled, disgruntled but enormously talented up-and-comer who just cannot seem to catch a break. Featuring a stand-out performance from Carey Mulligan, we see a world on the brink of enormous change, but one that nevertheless does not seem ready for what Davis’ songs have to say.

12 Years a Slave

August: Osage County

Friday 10 – Thursday 30 January Following on from the highly acclaimed Hunger and Shame, director Steve McQueen returns with an adaptation of Solomon Northup’s heart-wrenching 1853 autobiography. Northup, a free man in Washington DC was sold into slavery in 1841 and forced to work on plantations for twelve years.

Denied the most basic of human needs, Northup held onto his dignity and covertly wrote down his story. The formidable Chiwetel Ejiofor embodies Northup’s trials, supported by an all-star cast featuring Michael Fassbender, Paul Giamatti and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Friday 24 January – Thursday 6 February August: Osage County tells the dark, hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them. Based on Tony Letts’ Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play and with an all-star cast including Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor and Benedict Cumberbatch, this fraught, sun bleached drama depicts a family on the verge of imploding.

Cutie and the Boxer

Muscle Shoals

Dirty Wars

Friday 3 – Thursday 9 January Artist couple Ushio Shinohara and his wife Noriko are preparing for a joint exhibition.

Octogenarian Ushio’s contribution involves him donning boxing gloves and punching paint onto a canvas, whilst Noriko creates delicate drawings that tell the story of Cutie and Bullie. Noriko’s characters, however, are thinly-veiled versions of the real life couple, as Ushio treats her more like a personal assistant than a partner. Archive footage is skillfully crafted together with animated versions of Noriko’s drawings, melding the past and present together.

Sunday 5 – Thursday 9 January Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of America’s most creative and defiant music. Countless artists have recorded there, eager to capture something of the magic that inspired artists such as Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones and, pivotally, Rick Hall. It was Hall who created the town’s inspirational FAME studio: a wellspring of talent in an Alabama town where they say the music runs in the river. This documentary celebrates the town’s success and explores why it remains influential today.

Friday 10 (13.45/18.15) & Saturday 11 January (15.45) Dirty Wars searches for the truth behind the covert US actions in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere in the name of the ‘War on Terror’. Initially investigating American strikes that killed civilian families, further investigation uncovered the Joint Special Operations Command: a shadowy wing of the armed forces. Now acknowledged for their role in the execution of Osama bin Laden, the JSOC have expanded their field of operations from Iraq and Afghanistan, and seem to have been granted carte blanche when it comes to body count.

Floating Skyscrapers Plynace wiezowce

Sunday 12 – Wednesday 15 January Kuba (Mateusz Banasiuk), a champion swimmer, lives with his mother and girlfriend Sylwia. One evening, he and Sylwia attend a gallery opening where he meets Michał, and a new relationship develops. The film follows the course of Kuba’s evolving sexuality and the effect it has on Sylwia and his family, as well as examining the response of an unsympathetic environment.

Tomasz Wasilewski’s second feature film, beautifully shot by Jakub Kijowski, is sensitively acted and sexually provocative, fulfilling the promise of his debut feature In the Bedroom.

Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas

The Missing Picture L’image manquante

Friday 3 – Thursday 9 January Using a unique mix of clay figures, archival footage and his own narration, Rithy Panh creates a unique and harrowing portrayal of his childhood years in Cambodia under Pol Pot’s regime. Panh starkly speaks of his brutal experiences from 1975–1979, reflecting on and questioning his own survival during the four gruelling years as the Khmer Rouge ruled Phnom Penh with an iron fist. Taking the top prize in Cannes Film Festival’s ‘Un Certain Regard’ program, this autobiographical work is sobering, enlightening and deeply personal.

Friday 10 – Thursday 16 January This epic drama set in 16th century France against a backdrop of feudalism in decline stars Mads Mikkelsen as a well-to-do horse merchant who resorts to fanatical and violent extremes to obtain justice after a nobleman openly and illegally humiliates him by stealing two of his horses. Adapted from Heinrich von Kleist’s novella, a classic of German Romanticism, Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas was previously adapted for film in 1969 by Volker Schlöndorff and served as the inspiration for E L Doctorow’s Ragtime.

Seduced and Abandoned

Friday 17 – Monday 20 January A pastiche of interviews and movie clips, Seduced and Abandoned follows director James Toback and actor Alec Baldwin around Cannes interviewing billionaires and movie stars. The purpose of their celebrity safari is the pitching of a film that may appeal to few in Hollywood: a political-erotic Middle Eastern adventure inspired by Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris. Hilarious with a tinge of sadness, the film explores the ability of Hollywood to break a heart with the tightening of its purse strings.

After Tiller

Wednesday 22 (16.30 / 20.45) & Thursday 23 January (18.40) Dr George Tiller was one of few doctors in the US who practiced third trimester abortions. He was also a deeply religious Christian. One Sunday in March 2009, he was gunned down while handing out worship bulletins in his Church in Wichita, Kansas.

After Tiller follows the lives and work of the remaining four doctors who carry out third trimester abortions in America, all of whom bear George Tiller’s memory as a constant reminder of the dangers their career entails.

Director Martha Shane, Lana Wilson USA 2013, 1h25m, N/C 15+

Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus

Dark Days

Friday 24 – Monday 27 January For years, a homeless community lived in a train tunnel beneath New York City, braving dangerous conditions and perpetual night. Dark Days explores this surprisingly domestic subterranean world, unearthing a way of life unimaginable to those above.

Through stories simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious, tunnel dwellers reveal their struggle to survive underground. With a crew comprised of the tunnel’s inhabitants and scored by legendary turntablist DJ Shadow, Dark Days remains a soulful and enduring document of life on the fringe.

Kiss the Water

Tuesday 28 – Thursday 30 January In a cottage in northern Scotland, Megan Boyd twirled bits of feather, fur, silver and gold into elaborate fishing flies – at once miniature works of art and absolutely lethal. Wherever fishermen cast their lines, her name is whispered in mythic reverence. With breathtaking cinematography and expressive, hand painted animation, Kiss the Water adheres to and escapes from traditional documentary form, spinning the facts and fictions of one woman’s life into a stunning film about craft, devotion, love, and its illusions.

Director Eric Steel USA/UK 2013, 1h19m, PG

The Armstrong Lie

Friday 17 – Thursday 23 January On the road searching for a legendary shamanistic hallucinogen called the San Pedro cactus, twentysomething Jamie (Michael Cera) and his friends are stereotypes of drug-fuelled boorish American cluelessness. At a wild party one night, Jamie invites a fellow American traveller to join them on their quest – a free spirit named Crystal Fairy (played with revelatory conviction by Gaby Hoffman).

As the two radically different foreigners collide on their no longer care free journey, this shaggy road trip comedy becomes a psychological battle of wills and chemically enhanced self-discovery.

Friday 31 January – Thursday 6 February This chronicle of Lance Armstrong’s now infamous fall from grace began as an uplifting documentary about his 2009 comeback for the Tour de France. Filmmaker Alex Gibney was granted complete access to the cyclist’s inner circle and filmed telling interviews with everyone from Armstrong to his ‘doping doctor’, Michele Ferrari. Combined with fresh interviews in the aftermath of the scandal, the footage reveals how many people were willing to turn a blind eye to signs of foul play to preserve the Armstrong myth.

Together with other local AIDS patients, amongst them Jared Leto’s troubled drag queen Rayon, Ron forms uneasy alliances in his new business – learning to overcome the prejudices that dogged his past life.

Friday 14 – Thursday 20 February Claire Denis’ latest and darkest film was inspired by recent French sex ring scandals that exposed some of the country’s most wealthy and powerful men. After returning to Paris after a family tragedy, Marco moves into a huge apartment and furnishes it with nothing but a mattress. From here, he watches his neighbour Chiara, who guarantees the security of her child through her relationship with a man who wears a charming smile to conceal true evil.

The Invisible Woman

Friday 7 – Thursday 20 February Ralph Fiennes directs and stars as Charles Dickens in this opulent period drama about the famed author’s secret affair with the young actress Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones). In 1857 Dickens, aged forty-five, having been married for twenty years, began his affair with seventeen-year-old Ternan – beginning one of the most fascinating relationships in all of literary history. Fiennes, in his sophomore directorial outing, captures the nuance and intimacy of Claire Tomalin’s source text, adapted for the screen by Abi Morgan (The Hour, Shame).

The punishment escalates into an ordeal as the pair have to fend for themselves in the Brazilian countryside. Cris goes on a social odyssey, encountering a working class family and then an older, libertine woman. A coruscating example of ‘slow cinema,’ emanating from a country battling with its conscience over class and racial divides.

After his family are forced to leave their home by a duplicitous Australian energy company, the put-upon but ambitious child leads them, and two fellow outcasts they meet along the way, across Laos in search of a permanent place to stay. A danger-filled journey through a land scarred by the legacy of war ends with Ahlo building a giant rocket to enter an ancient competition and try to win a new home for his family and companions.

MONORAIL FILM CLUB

Basically, Johnny Moped

Sunday 26 January (20.00) Formed in 1974 by a group of school friends from Croydon, Johnny Moped are one of the UK punk scene’s great lost treasures. Fronted by the enigmatic Paul Halford, aka Johnny Moped himself, and counting both Chrissie Hynde and Captain Sensible among their former members, the band found themselves at the heart of London’s burgeoning punk scene for a brief moment in 1977. The fascinating story of their rise, and how success eluded them, unspools in this funny, frequently moving documentary.

Introduced by Russ Wilkins, a Borders-based musician who has played with Billy Childish, Wreckless Eric and was an instigator of the garage punk influenced ‘Medway Delta Sound’ in the late 1970s.

Director Fred Burns / UK 2013, 1h17m, N/C 15+

CROSSING THE LINE

New digital print

Caravaggio

Wednesday 19 February (20.20) Caravaggio is probably the closest Derek Jarman ever came to making a mainstream film. As it reveals the 17th-century painter’s complex life – his brilliant, nearly blasphemous paintings and flirtations with the underworld – it is also a uniquely complex and lucid treatment of Jarman’s major concerns: violence, history, homosexuality, and the relationship between film and painting. The result is Jarman’s most profound, unsettling and astonishing reflection on art, sexuality and identity.

Screening to mark the 20th anniversary of Derek Jarman’s death.

My Stuff Tavarataivas

Sunday 29 December (18.30) A reflection on Western culture’s obsession with commodity, My Stuff is a fascinating examination of the desire to fill our lives with consumables. When twenty-something filmmaker Petri Luukkainen found himself on a spending spree after breaking up with his girlfriend, he decided to embark on an experiment and lock his possessions in storage. Retrieving his items one day at a time, Luukkainen begins to appreciate the difference between what he wants and what he needs.

Belleville Baby

Thursday 2 January (18.30) In this semi-fictional documentary, director Mia Engberg examines her recollections of a passionate affair she had with a drug dealer during her rebellious youth. When her former lover calls unexpectedly from Paris and asks her to help him remember the time they spent together, Engberg is reluctant to dig up the past. Alternating between diary-like voiceover and telephone conversations, this experimental meditation on the subjective nature of memory explores the difficulty of trying to save someone you love from themselves.

Director Mia Engberg Sweden 2013, 1h16m, subtitles, N/C 15+

Funny Face

Friday 14 February (13.00/18.00) 1950’s Hollywood glamour meets Parisian chic when screen icons Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn team up for this whimsical, beautiful musical romance. Spotted in the background of a photoshoot at a Greenwich Village bookshop, Jo (Hepburn) grudgingly agrees to work as a model for a fashion magazine in return for a trip to the home city of her beloved Left Bank philosophers. Inevitably, she falls in love with the magazine’s charismatic photographer Dick (Astaire); dazzling outfits and swellegant musical numbers ensue.

Friday 14 February (20.10/23.15) Adam and Eve are a pair of willowy, languidly eccentric vampires with a shared appreciation for trendy music and edgy photography.

There’s a suggestion that they could even have been the world’s first couple: their love affair has spanned millennia. Now it brings Eve to Detroit, the shabby-hip ghost town Adam grudgingly shares with human ‘zombies’, who are of use only when providing him with blood or cult appreciation. Eve’s arrival on her lover’s scene will bring the supercilious couple to a crisis before long.

VALENTINE’S DAY AT THE MOVIES

NORDIC FILM FESTIVAL ON TOUR

Nordic Film Festival is presented by day for night* www.day-for-night.org/nordic-film-festival

GOTHIC: LOVE IS THE DEVIL

Each of these films, introduced by David Melville Wingrove, is a twisted romance.

Join us as David sets the scene in his introduction and stay afterwards for a brief discussion on the madness that is love…

David Melville Wingrove is a writer and critic who teaches Film Studies and Literature at the University of Edinburgh Open Studies. He describes himself as a ‘Lecturer in Hollywood Glamour and Gothic Excess’ – and takes full responsibility for the surpassing weirdness of these films.

Corridor of Mirrors

Tuesday 7 January (18.00) In this flamboyant blend of Gothic and film noir, a deranged aesthete (Eric Portman) inhabits a 16th century Venetian palazzo in the heart of contemporary London. He meets and falls in love with gorgeous Edana Romney – who reminds him of his favourite Renaissance portrait. But her madness is much more than a match for his. Directed by Terence Young (who later made the first James Bond films) this long-neglected gem also marks the screen debut of a young Christopher Lee. Director Terence Young Cast Eric Portman, Edana Romney, Barbara Mullen UK 1948, 1h45m, PG

The Tomb of Ligeia

Tuesday 14 January (18.00) The last (and perhaps the classiest) of the Corman films of Edgar Allan Poe, this stars the inimitable Vincent Price as a black-clad Victorian gent with an allergy to sunlight and a tortured marital history. Settling into a crumbling abbey with his new bride, he starts to suspect his vampiric first wife is still alive. A literate script by Robert Towne (Chinatown, Shampoo) blends the Poe story with Rebecca and Jane Eyre, while Corman’s eye for colour brings it vividly to life.

Director Roger Corman / Cast Vincent Price, Elizabeth Shepherd, John Westbrook / UK 1964, 1h21m, N/C 12+

The Hunger

Tuesday 21 January (18.00) The key film for doomed romantics in the 80s, with Catherine Deneuve as a glamorous lady vampire who promises her lovers eternal life. When her latest boy-toy (David Bowie) shrivels and grows old, she turns a bisexual eye to a young blood doctor (Susan Sarandon) who oddly has weird scruples about staying ‘normal’. With Schubert and Delibes on the soundtrack, Tony Scott’s debut is all billowing curtains, fluttering doves, high-fashion outfits and soft-core sex. Plus a cameo by punk super-group Bauhaus!

Director Tony Scott / Cast Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Susan Sarandon UK 1983, 1h37m, 18

Black Swan

Tuesday 28 January (17.45) Showgirls meets Repulsion in this harrowing tale of a repressed ballerina (Natalie Portman – a well-deserved Oscar for Best Actress) who’s plagued by erotic nightmares and inner demons.

Vincent Cassel is a demonic ballet master, Mila Kunis a sexy young rival and Barbara Hershey the most chilling showbiz mother since Joan Crawford. Perhaps the most inventive mainstream film of recent years, it’s unflinching in its portrayal of ballet as an aestheticised form of self-harm.

Excessive and unforgettable!

Director Darren Aronofsky / Cast Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey / USA 2010, 1h48m, some subtitles, 15

CLASSICS ON THE BIG SCREEN

New digital print – 25th Anniversary

Cinema Paradiso Nuovo Cinema Paradiso

Friday 27 – Monday 30 December Cinema is Salvatore’s first love, but when he turns eighteen, he meets Elena (Agnese Nano) and experiences the kind of idealised romance that could only be dreamed up in the hazy glow of the cinema screen. His local projectionist and surrogate father, Alfredo (Philippe Noiret), is there to council him throughout. Now a successful filmmaker living in Rome, Salvatore (Jacques Perrin) returns to his Sicilian birthplace for Alfredo’s funeral. Once there, he reminisces about the childhood he spent in the kind man’s company.

Director Giuseppe Tornatore / Cast Philippe Noiret, Enzo Cannavale, Antonella Attili Italy/France 1988, 2h3m, subtitles, PG

New digital print

Nosferatu the Vampyre Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht

Friday 27 – Monday 30 December By both paying homage to and playing with FW Murnau’s classic 1922 silent film, Werner Herzog was able to offer a unique take on the classic story of the Count. Klaus Kinski, in his second collaboration with Herzog, is utterly terrifying as the parasitic looking vampire – casting a looming and foreboding shadow over his prey. With Bruno Ganz in the role of the visiting Jonathan Harker, Herzog offers a unique, thoughtful and melancholic take on the classic tale of immortal lust.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Sunday 5 January (19.45) The divine feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford reached its artistic height in this flamboyant slice of grand guignol which earned Davis her eleventh and final Best Actress Oscar nomination. A former child star, Baby Jane now plays caretaker to younger sister Blanche who is confined to a wheelchair. Years of resentment and sibling rivalry lead to a vicious campaign of recrimination as Jane decides it’s payback time. This is a creepy, unsettling chiller with a fearless Davis performance that blends heartrending pathos with high camp grotesque.

Director Robert Aldricht / Cast Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Victor Buono / USA 1962, 2h11m, 12A: Contains psychological menace

Director Werner Herzog / Cast Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani, Bruno Ganz West Germany/France 1979, 1h47m, subtitles, 12A: Contains moderate horror and gore

Beauty and the Beast La belle et la bête

Friday 3 – Sunday 5 January Jean Cocteau’s seminal and much-loved gothic tale of the beauty and the beast has been lovingly restored for an unforgettable cinema experience, which effectively matches the director’s original vision. When Belle’s father picks a rose from the beast’s garden, he is sentenced to death. In an attempt to save him, Belle travels to the beast’s enchanted castle. Unfolding with a steady pace, and with Cocteau’s remarkable vision for fantastical costumes and decorum, this bewitching version of the classic story demands to be seen on the big screen.

Director Jean Cocteau, René Clément / Cast Jean Marais, Josette Day, Mila Parély France 1946, 1h35m, subtitles, PG

New digital print

The Night of the Hunter

Friday 17 – Thursday 23 January Described by Laughton as ‘a nightmarish sort of Mother Goose tale’, The Night of the Hunter is a ghoulish fairytale for grownups. Before being hung for murder, John and Pearl’s father swears them to secrecy on the whereabouts of his $10,000 loot. However, his own indiscretion leads to his one-time cellmate – a psychotic religious fanatic – marrying the children’s mother, intent on uncovering the stolen riches. John and his little sister flee down the river by the cover of night, with their stepfather in devilish pursuit.

Sunday 26 January (19.30) In a new collaboration between Celtic Connections and Glasgow Film Festival, this music/film double bill centres on the premiere screening of feature-length An Drochaid/The Bridge Rising, a lively documentary about the ten-year battle against the Skye Bridge tolls. The film follows the many twists and turns of events through the words of the protagonists themselves, from protesters to prosecutors, engineers to financiers, politicians to police officers, uncovering several surprises in the telling. The film’s score, by leading Cape Breton composer and guitarist Scott MacMillan, features his fiddle-wielding compatriot Colin Grant alongside Scotland’s Angus MacDonald, Arthur Cormack, and Mary Ann Kennedy, as well as MacMillan himself. Heralding the soundtrack’s album release, they’ll perform excerpts ahead of the screening, which will be followed by a Q&A session.

1939: HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!

The Cosmo cinema, later to become the Glagow Film Theatre, first opened its Rose Street doors 75 years ago in 1939. That year is also known as Hollywood’s Greatest Year ever – 365 films were released, 80 million tickets a week were sold, and the Best Picture award nominees at the 1939 Oscars were Gone with the Wind, Stagecoach, Wuthering Heights, Dark Victory, Love Affair, Goodbye, Mr Chips, Ninotchka, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Of Mice and Men, and The Wizard of Oz. Rather than celebrating the achievement of an individual actor in the popular retrospective programme strand, this year GFF will be screening all of those films (except Gone With the Wind, which was screened in December). We’re delighted to bring a touch of Old Hollywood glamour to freezing February.

Glasgow Short Film Festival

For the first time, the seventh edition of Glasgow Short Film Festival stages its international competition at GFT, the natural home of ground-breaking new cinema from across the globe.

Thirty-four films have been selected from 1,000+ submissions to compete for the 2014 Bill Douglas Award for International Short Film. Named in honour of Scotland’s greatest filmmaker, the award-winning film will reflect the qualities found in the work of Bill Douglas: honesty, innovation and the supremacy of image and sound in cinematic storytelling. The award carries a cash prize of £1,000. You will have the chance to vote for your favourite to win the Audience Award.

All tickets cost £5. Many of the filmmakers will be present and will take part in short Q&As after each screening.

GSFF also takes place at CCA and other venues.

International Competition 1: Past Performance

Thursday 13 February (18.30) Saturday 15 February (13.15) Memories and echoes are contained within objects, images and song in the first international selection. Autobiography is constructed from press clippings, Super8 film and household tools, whilst a reverberation chamber becomes the site of a unique performance. This programme includes the latest work from British experimental filmmaker John Smith, and a touching tale of redemption from Columbia.

Directors Various / 2012–13, 1h30m, some subtitles, N/C 15+

International Competition 2: Reality Bleeds

Thursday 13 February (20.45) Saturday 15 February (15.30) This programme draws inspiration from reality in startling ways. Whether placing conversations in strange new contexts or secretly capturing the sinister banality of state power on camera, each of these films investigates the ethics of the moving image. The programme includes works from China and Finland, as well as a revelatory film featuring a cast of first time performers, all inmates in a Scottish youth prison.

Directors Various / 2012–13, 1h30m, some subtitles, N/C 15+

International Competition 3: In His Image

International Competition 4: Endgames

Friday 14 February (13.15) Saturday 15 February (18.30) In the third competition programme, characters become obsessed by an image captured or collected that they can’t explain or fully understand. Cinéphilia, archive collections, pornography – all are fraught with danger for the unsuspecting collector of images. This programme includes a brilliant pastiche of classic Italian art house cinema from film critic Jonathan Romney, and the award-winning thriller SLR, from GSFF regular Stephen Fingleton.

Friday 14 February (15.30) Saturday 15 February (20.45) Endings are explored in the fourth competition selection, whether messy, comic, tragic, sudden or hopeful. A family breaks up in the midst of Hurricane Irene, whilst a grandson sets off on a final adventure with his beloved grandfather, and a son decides against following his bohemian father’s path. The programme also features Adam Stafford’s No Hope for Men Below, an elegant and haunting retelling of Falkirk’s 1923 Redding Pit Disaster.

International Competition 5: Standing Ground

Friday 14 February (18.30) Sunday 16 February (13.15) When does defending your turf become stagnation? The fifth competition programme considers resistance, inertia and fear of the unknown. From Greece comes a powerful portrayal of a woman stuck in a cycle of servitude to her criminal family, whilst a Russian teenager rails against the older generation in a whirlwind of petty violence and vandalism.

Pandas finally evolve beyond languor in the blackly comic Pandy, whilst Sam Firth’s Stay the Same is a moving self-portrait, filmed every day for a year on the remote Knoydart peninsula.

International Competition 6: Written on the Body

Friday 14 February (20.45) Sunday 16 February (15.30) The body is the canvas for the final selection in this year’s international competition, featuring works from Canada, Brazil and Switzerland.

Two survivors of AIDS remember the battles that ravaged their bodies and took the lives of their friends, whilst a long distance runner pushes himself to the limit in the ultimate endurance test.

Despite his deafness, sound pulses through a Brazilian father’s veins, whilst a young couple making love are interrupted by an army of snails.

When Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow) falls pregnant, her creepy elderly neighbours take a special interest in her condition. As Rosemary becomes increasingly ill and paranoid, she begins to suspect that the Castevet’s friendly overtures conceal malicious intent. This darkly chilling thriller won Ruth Gordon an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Recently deceased Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) haunt their old home in an attempt scare away its new tenants, the Deetzes, whose gothic daughter Lydia is the only one who notices anything amiss. Getting desperate, the dead couple employ Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a freelance ‘bio-exorcist’, to help them out.
