The Glasgow Film Festival is an annual film festival based in Glasgow, Scotland. The festival began in 2005. By 2015, the festival had seen audience figures top 40,000 for two consecutive years. It is now considered one of the top film festivals in the UK.

Profile

[edit]

The Glasgow Film Festival was launched in 2005 and initially based in the Glasgow Film Theatre. The event focused on non-mainstream cinema and treated the audience as the main guests, quickly earning a title of one of the friendliest film festivals in the world. From less than 5,000 in 2005, attendance grew up to 40,000 in 2013.[1] By 2015, the festival had already been considered one of the top three film festivals in the UK.[2] As the festival grew and developed, it expanded to other venues; in 2017, special screenings were hosted by an indoor real snow ski slope.[3]

The festival's main and only prize is the Audience Award,[4] sponsored by MUBI. Another section is FrightFest, a selection of horror films programmed by the London-based horror film festival.[5][1] The programme also includes the free morning retrospective screenings.[6][7]

The festival has its industry section that provides networking opportunities and hosts various master-classes and events.[5] For example, in 2024, it offered live animation project pitching session with a £5,000 funding prize.[6]

Since 2006, the festival has been directed by Allison Gardner.[7] In 2023, her long-time co-director Allan Hunter stepped down, succeeded by Chris Kumar.[6]

The 2023 edition was held from March 1 to 12. The 19th edition of the festival screened 123 features, including six world premieres, 16 European and international premieres and 70 UK premieres. The festival opened with Adura Onashile’s Glasgow-shot feature debut Girl, and closed with Nida Manzoor’s Polite Society.[33]

The 20th anniversary edition was held from 28 February to 10 March, 2024. This year's feature submissions exceeded 400.[6] The line-up featured 11 world and international premieres, including İlker Çatak’s The Teachers’ Lounge, Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border, Giacomo Abbruzzese’s Disco Boy, and the opening film was Rose Glass's Love Lies Bleeding.[5]
