Well there is certainly a lot of buzz going around about this festival. Movie fans everywhere, well within the local area at least, will be ready for the annual film event in Glasgow.
Glasgow may not be known for a lot of things but this film festival is certainly one of them. With directing and acting talent from all around, the movies screened are due to bring the crowds. Unlike the Edinburgh festival, the Glasgow one focuses more on the directing talents of the British population, keeping with heritage and giving local directors the honour of having their film screened.
One such director is Kevin MacDonald. Most renown for his directing talents in films such as The Last King Of Scotland and Touching The Void, he is also the director of the film The Eagle. Now you may not recognise it but you should. Not only is it an incredibly film with award winning actors such as Channing Tatum, it was also the opening film to the Glasgow Film Festival. Now the Glasgow Film Festival, not only has a wide variety of films, but the opening film to kick it all off was directed by Kevin MacDonald who is also from Glasgow. (Take a look at my previous blog on this director)
And if for some reason you decide to come to the festival and don't want to watch a film then the festival gladly provides lots of extras such as workshops, question and answer times with directors, meetings about certain films. And they are open for all people of all ages. Whether you want to see an action, romance, horror or just turn up to a meeting with one of the directors of a film to ask questions, the festival provides entertainment for all tastes, so go and have fun.
WOWEEEE! But seriously good job :)
