The Glasgow Film Festival is returning for its eighth year in 2012, bigger and better and now a real contender on the international festival scene. Many of the best films in its 2011 selection went on to enjoy successful runs in cinemas nationwide, so this could be your chance to get a sneak peek at the next big thing.
As always, festival director Allison Gardner and Allan Hunter are promising an eclectic selection of films, with a Gene Kelly retrospective for dance fans and another spectacularly scary weekend courtesy of the Frightfest team. There's also the Youth Film Festival, which runs before the main one, from the 5th to the 15th of February.
Alongside the films, Glasgow promises to provide a host of exciting related arts events, incluing a stage version of Belleville Rendez-Vous. Tickets will go on sale in January and we'll be bringing you all the latest festival news as it develops, so watch this space!
The Glasgow Film Festival 2012 will run from the 16th to the 26th of February.
