Our festival is one of the biggest film events in Britain, attracting well over 40,000 admissions each year to sample the finest films available to humanity. This year, we promise you the perfect movie mix. Start the day with one of our free Rebel Heroes screenings, featuring stars ranging from Brando and Cagney to Pacino and Poitier. Stay for a matinee from an outstanding selection of world cinema titles, documentaries and homegrown hits, or try one of the fantastic titles in our focus on Irish cinema. Room for one more? Stay for a gala screening and meet the stars, or head to one of our amazing live events in Sound & Vision, including Mica Levi and Wrangler’s new project The Unfilmables. Give us a day of your time and we’ll show you a world of cinema; stay for the festival and you’ll discover a treasure trove of thrillers and scary movies, comedies and documentaries, cult fun and riveting dramas. We have movies that entertain, delight, excite, educate and illuminate but running throughout the festival are movies that inspire. Margaret Tait, Ida Lupino and Dame Muriel Spark were all born in 1918 and we celebrate those centenaries and the lives of women who broke down barriers, challenged pre- judices and defied all the odds. We salute the Scottish workers who played a part in opposing the Pinochet junta in our brilliant Closing film Nae Pasaran, we 1 remember the fight for women’s votes in 1970s Switzerland with The Divine Order, and the Deep Throat of American politics in Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down The White House. In these bewildering, chaotic times it is all too easy to surrender to apathy or wallow in despondency but we have the antidote - films to lift your spirits and show that individuals can make a difference; that small actions can have enormous consequences, and that it is possible to be the change you want to see. At Glasgow in 2018, all we are saying is give film a chance and let our festival become your festival.
