Glasgow Film Festival screening schedule

The selection and premieres of the 18th Glasgow Film Festival have been announced.

Glasgow Film Festival will kick off with the UK premiere of Graham Moore’s The Outfit and will conclude with the UK premiere of Croatian director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic’s Camera d’Or-winning Murina. The selection also includes 10 world premieres, four European premieres and 65 UK premieres. The festival will take place between 2-13 March.

The Outfit, the directorial debut of Graham Moore, author of The Imitation Game, will have its world premiere as a premiere screening in Berlin. The film tells the story of a tailor who travels from London to Chicago, where he makes quality clothes for gangsters. The movie stars Mark Rylance, Dylan O’Brien, Zoey Deutch and Johnny Flynn.

A family drama, Murina takes place on a Croatian island and centers around the struggle between an overbearing father and his teenage daughter who wants to get rid of him. Director Martin Scorsese is contributing to the film as executive producer.

World premieres at the festival include Wake Up Punk by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s son Joe Corré, and Pictures From Iraq documentaries by Scottish war photographer David Pratt and director Robbie Fraser, which chronicles Pratt’s journey to war-torn lands.

For the first time, the festival is partnering with cinemas in the UK to simultaneously screen selected films. These screenings include The Outfit, Murina and Audrey Diwan‘s Happening, which will premiere in the UK on International Women’s Day on 8 March. Many films, including Scottish director Ruth Paxton’s debut feature A Banquet, will be screened both at the festival and online through Glasgow Film At Home.
