TD2818 Glasgow Film Festival 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 Jonah Hill’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 Hollywood 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.

  • Film I-Spring 2020 Plague Work Unit: New Hollywood Just Like We Did
    Film I-Spring 2020 Plague Work Unit: New Hollywood Just like we did with the French New Wave, we’re going to try to take a look at one more film movement this year: the New Hollywood movement. 1. What is New Hollywood? Watch the following mini documentary online explaining the direct line from Italian Neorealism to the French New Wave to New Hollywood to modern independent cinema: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opQC45irmN8 2. Watching a New Hollywood film Watch the film The Graduate from 1967 directed by Mike Nichols. It can be watched or downloaded at: https://stlps- my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/jchamber4910_slps_org/EWjwYfyTA8xBkOkD_n2OGBcBI 9ifHOVw2AM0GT2T4N6qTQ?e=5IysPU 3. Writing comparatively You have two options! Do either one of the following two: Option 1: Choose any other American film made since 1967 that you can use to do a comparative study with The Graduate. This might be a film that shares themes with The Graduate or shows similar stylistic choices or one that you can analyze through a similar lens. Use that main area that they share to analyze the two films in comparison with each other. The final product should be two pages typed and should be uploaded to TurnItIn by Friday, May 15th. or Option 2: Watch Bonnie and Clyde from 1967 directed by Arthur Penn. The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde were made at roughly the same time. Analyze them both in comparison with each other, both in terms of style and filmmaking choices and in terms of historical/sociocultural context and how they reflect the United States in the late 1960s.

  • The World to Come
    THE WORLD TO COME Directed by Mona Fastvold *World Premiere - 2020 Venice International Film Festival - Competition* PRESS CONTACTS US Press: Emilie Spiegel, [email protected] Intl Press: Claudia Tomassini, [email protected] SYNOPSIS In this frontier romance framed by the four seasons and set against the backdrop of rugged terrain, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves powerfully, irrevocably drawn to each other. As grieving Abigail tends to the needs of her taciturn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) and Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbot), both women are illuminated and liberated by their intense bond, filling a void in their lives they never knew existed. Director Mona Fastvold (The Sleepwalker, co-writer of CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER and VOX LUX) examines the interior lives of two women resisting constraints, giving voice to their experiences. Scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the power of imagination and human connection. Q&A with Director Mona Fastvold First of all, tell me how the material came your way. It’s an interesting pairing of a novelist adapting a short story — was this a script that came to you fully formed? The script came to me from one of our producers, Whitaker Lader, who had seen my previous film. She and Casey had been developing the script with the screenwriters, Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard, for some time. I was immediately struck by it.
