7 FESTIVAL STRANDS ARE WE THERE YET?: A RETROSPECTIVE OF THE FUTURE

The 2020 retrospective invites audience to go back to the future with a collection of dystopian classics that offer bold visions of the way ahead for humanity. Are We There Yet? celebrates a collection of startlingly prescient films that gazed into a crystal ball and glimpsed a time where artificial intelligence has begun to develop a mind of its own, where climate change and scarce resources threaten the survival of our species, intelligent apes might rule over humans and real strawberry jam has become a heartrending reminder of all that has been lost. There is a film each morning, screened free of charge and open to everyone with a short introduction to set the scene. An unmissable opportunity to witness how cinema has depicted the shape of things to come.

Arrow Video FrightFest marks its 15th year as part of Glasgow Film Festival by staying true to its mission statement issued at their very first London event in 2000. Back then, the industry was staring into the digital revolution abyss. But far from being in terminal crisis, the art form mutated into an exciting panorama of trends with changes in gender perception, production business models, distribution ingenuity and exhibition multi- platforms. FrightFest led the way by bringing the constantly evolving to a whole new intrigued audience, fuelled by fan communities and a growing global enthusiasm for the transgressive, traumatic and terrifying.

Documentaries have never enjoyed greater renown or bigger commercial success. They speak truth to power, illuminate lives both great and small, allow us to journey to corners of the earth we may never visit and confront issues we had never thought to consider. The best documentaries have the power to open our eyes and win our hearts. This year’s outstanding Stranger than Fiction offerings include fresh insights into the extraordinary lives of Toni Morrison, Barry Gifford and Truman Capote. The incredibly moving One Taxi Ride explores the horror of abuse and one man’s ability to regain his life. We are thrilled that Anthony Baxter is back with Flint, a shocking, profoundly touching portrait of the fate of one American community and the greater truths that reveals about the injustices of the modern world. These are vital, engaging works of cinema that come straight from the heart and are guaranteed to get you talking.

5 is the Perfect Number (5 e il numero perfetto) CCA Mon 2 Mar (20.30) & Tue 3 Mar (13.00) Artist and illustrator Igort (Igor Tuveri) has adapted his own into a stylish, guns-blazing neo- noir set on the rain-sodden mean streets of 1970s Naples. The great Toni Servillo lends weary gravitas to the role of Peppino, an old-school hitman and loyal footsoldier. When a family member is ambushed and killed, it is the start of a war that will be marked in bloodshed, betrayal and dishonour. From the Saul Bass-like opening titles to the Morricone-style music and nods to Sergio Leone, this is a very tasty, hugely atmospheric slice of Italian pulp fiction.

About Endlessness (Om det oändliga) CINEWORLD Mon 2 Mar (21.00) & Tue 3 Mar (15.45) A master of haunting imagery and deadpan absurdity, Roy Andersson returns with another mournful reflection on human existence. Constructed as a series of eerie vignettes, the film depicts a topsy turvy world unaware of what truly matters. The insignificant assumes an immense importance whilst something monumental barely registers. An imperious narrator leads us through apocalyptic events whilst a recurring image shows a couple floating over a bombed-out city once filled with life and culture. There is a sense of impending doom in every forlorn frame.

When Dick, Zeke and Earl decide to ‘get weird’ one night after band practice, none of them could have imagined that a night of heavy drinking would lead to Dick’s death. What ensues is a series of inept attempts by Zeke and Earl to cover up what really happened that night but unfortunately the truth always has a way of coming out…

Via a combination of scrappy hosts, fly- by-the-seat-of-their-pants production style, and music mini-movies, MTV was like nothing Americans had ever seen before. A nostalgic and thrilling ride, I Want My MTV takes its audience back to the beginning, when the idea of a television channel devoted solely to screening newfangled videos seemed destined for failure. The film shows how a team of young executives tasked with growing this seed of an idea, would quickly flourish into a beloved but often controversial cultural juggernaut.

The Juniper Tree GFT Thu 27 Feb (16.00) & Fri 28 Feb (18.15) A teenage Björk leads this dreamy, meditative and melancholic feature. A feminist slant upon the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale which follows two sisters (Margit & Katla) wandering the Icelandic wilderness after their mother is burned as a witch. To ensure their safety, Katla marries a widowed man living with his son. Yet as the son grows ever more resentful at the presence of the sisters, tensions rise before things take a turn for the macabre. An impassioned turn from Björk is just one of many aspects to recommend in this lost gem, a Bergman-esque journey into the past.

While At War (Mientras dure la guerra) CINEWORLD Fri 28 Feb (20.30) & Sat 29 Feb (13.00) Alejandro Amenabar’s elegantly crafted, deeply felt drama confronts the Spanish Civil War head-on. Set in the summer of 1936, it paints a vivid picture of a divided country and follows events through the stealthy rise of General Franco (Santi Prego) and the response of celebrated Spanish author and fiercely independent intellectual Miguel de Unamuno (Karra Elejalde). A powerful insight into the blossoming of fascism, the misappropriation of patriotism and the way evil flourishes when good people falter in their opposition. Lessons for our times are plain to see.

We follow RARs development from Hoxton fanzine roots right through to their massive 1978 Victoria Park carnival, which featured X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse and The Clash.
