Now in its fourth year, the Glasgow Film Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever. Attendees will get the chance to see several of this year's most eagerly anticipated films before they go on general release, and there'll also be a selection of the very best in cinema from around the world, plus some promising work from new British talent. Alongside this, you can look forward to a Bette Davis retrospective featuring some all-time classics of the silver screen.

The 2008 Glasgow Film Festival opens on Valentine's Day and runs until the 24th. The GFT will be at the centre of things but you can also look forward to special screenings in Cineworld Renfrew Street and in the CCA. We'll be bringing you the latest news and reviews from the festival throughout.
