The Glasgow Film Festival turns 21 this year and it's also the final festival for longtime co-director Allison Gardner, so expect something really special. A packed line-up includes several special events themed around coming of age, with an amazing guest list - look out for in-conversation events with James McAvoy and Jessica Lange. We'll be adding more details as they come in, so watch this space.
