TD2818 Glasgow A4 ad v1a.indd 1 20/12/2018 17:59 WELCOME TO GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL 2019

Is there any other film festival in the world where the regulars at The Clansman pub rub shoulders with the residents of 23 Commerce Quay, Brussels?

We pride ourselves on programming without prejudice at Glasgow. Every one of us loves movies and the thrill of anticipation for the UK premiere of sensitive period drama Tell It to the Bees is just as keenly felt as the excitement of uncovering the deep, dark secrets in The Hole in the Ground.

The movies are one of the few things that bring us all together. When the world around us may seem hell-bent on division, inequality and conflict. Movies unite people. They move us, inspire us and show us how to survive the best of times and the worst of times. Sharing laughter or tears is proof that we have so much more in common than any of the forces that try to tear us apart.

Our Opening and Closing Galas this year are all about the growing pains that are CONTENTS familiar to us all. We proudly open with the UK premiere of actor ’s Ticketing 2

stunning, big-hearted directorial debut Mid90s, following a 13-year-old boy trying Opening & Closing Galas 4-5 to figure out who he is and where he belongs in the world. Some of the answers are found in a group of neighbourhood skateboarders. Our Closing Gala is the UK Enhance Your Festival Experience 6 premiere of Brian Welsh’s Beats, a tale of friendship and rebellion celebrated in 1969: The End of Innocence 7 the dancefloor sweat and throbbing beats of an illicit, old school through-the-night Belgian Cinema: Both Sides Now 7 rave. Both films are completely specific and entirely universal in their emotional pull. They make us reflect on the friendships we make, the logical families we create and Special Events 8 the relationships that sustain us. Gala 8 CineMasters 9 Between these two sturdy pillars we have strung a festival of the brightest Local Heroes 9 lights, conveying the whole wide world that cinema has to offer: from the thrill of discovery to the comfort of renewing old acquaintances. There truly is something Sound & Vision 9 here for everyone. Even better, the daily retrospective of classic movies Modern Families 9 from the landmark year of 1969 is absolutely free. Stranger Than Fiction 9 We look forward to seeing you at Glasgow Film Festival. So, come on. Future Cult 10 Let’s Get Together.

3 OPENING GALA

Mid90s GFT / Wednesday 20 February (19.30)

Add Jonah Hill to the list of multi-talented actors who are also outstanding writer/directors. The Oscar-nominated star of The Wolf of , Moneyball and countless other favourites now moves behind the camera with Mid90s, a breezy slice of life told with heart, love and understanding.

In 1990s , life seems to be stacking the odds against 13-year-old Stevie (Sunny Suljic). His older brother Ian () regards him as a convenient punch bag, and his lonely mother Dabney (Katherine Waterston) can’t provide the comfort he needs. What would it take to become one of the cool kids? Perhaps hanging out with the regulars at the Motor Avenue skate shop could be his passport to winning and fitting in.

Beautifully in tune with the sounds and feel of the period, Mid90s shows that Hill has a keen eye for detail, a flawless dedication to authenticity, and the ability to tease the best from his actors. Suljic is a shining star as Stevie, winning your heart as someone who wears life’s blows as badges of honour. We are thrilled to be opening the 2019 festival with this warm, hilarious celebration of the irrepressible, never-say-die spirit.

4 CLOSING GALA

BEATS GFT / Sunday 3 March (19.15)

We began the festival in 1990s . We end the festival in 1990s Scotland, with an invitation to rave to the grave on the “the biggest night of your life”. The much-anticipated screen version of Kieran Hurley’s award-winning play is a gallus, bittersweet coming-of-age rollercoaster. Imagine Fellini’s I Vitelloni set to a throbbing techno beat.

It is 1994 and new legislation effectively outlaws raves or “public gatherings around amplified music characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats”. The party is well and truly over but not before mild-mannered teenager Johnno (Cristian Ortega) is encouraged to join his best mate Spanner (Lorn Macdonald) for one last big night out at an illegal rave.

Filmed in black and white, with as executive producer, Beats finds real poignancy in the bond between these two innocents as they enter a wonderland of rebellion and romance. A heady solidarity is forged in the sweaty bodies, casual encounters and carefree exuberance of youth gathered in the pursuit of a good time.

A wildly entertaining end of an era party that brings a lump to the throat.

Director Brian Welsh Cast Cristian Ortega, Lorn Macdonald, Laura Fraser, Rachel Jackson UK 2018, 1h42m, N/C 18+ Thanks to Altitude Films

When an older samurai arrives looking to recruit skilled fighters, the young man begins to ponder on the heavy burden of taking a life and whether he is capable of such an act.

Filled with emotional testimony, archive footage and fascinating technical detail, it is an edge-of-the-seat true story on a par with anything that might have devised.
