1st till 12th March

Hold tight onto your popcorn, Glasgow Film Festival is back with another belting line-up. Go see Skin Deep, where people are paired up and experience the world in each other’s bodies for two weeks; Stone Turtle, which follows off-grid islanders dealing with the arrival of Samad, who claims to be a researcher (sold as Groundhog Day meets The Wicker Man); and watch the ever brilliant Carol Morley’s Typist Artist Pirate King, which features Kelly MacDonald as the mental health carer of artist Audrey Amiss (played by Monica Dolan) who was only properly recognised after her death.
