"Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumper Festival".

The annual retrospective sold out in 2007 when we paid tribute to John Wayne. In 2008, we mark the centenary of the birth of Oscar-winning Hollywood great Bette Davis with a retrospective that runs the full length of her legendary sixty year career. The retrospective begins with a special Valentine's Day screening of classic wartime weepie Now Voyager (1942) and will include career landmarks like Jezebel (1938), All About Eve (1950) and What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) screening in brand new prints at the launch of a national tour. Last year the Festival hosted the UK premieres of The Good Shepherd, Letters From Iwo Jima, Curse Of The Golden Flower, Tell No One and Rescue Dawn as well as welcoming guests from Emilia Fox and Michelle Ryan to Oscar-winning producer Jeremy Thomas and local heroes Martin Compston and Sean Biggerstaff. Expect more high profile titles and red carpet evenings as the Festival unveils some of the most eagerly-awaited cinema releases of 2008. Don't miss The Surprise Film - Last year a Glasgow audience became one of the first in the country to see David Lynch's mesmerising masterwork INLAND EMPIRE, a suitable curtain-raiser for Lynch's visit to the city later in 2007. This year nobody will know the title until the lights go down and the curtains open. It will be unforgettable.Glasgow takes pride in placing the spotlight firmly on Scottish talent on both sides of the camera. Our choice of films might highlight a promising new directorial talent, a dazzling performance from a Scottish actor or a rising star in the world of short filmmaking. We also nudge some of Scotland's unsung filmmaking pioneers back into the limelight with our archive screens.
Last year Glasgow audiences were among the first in Britain to see Shane Meadows brilliant new film This Is England. The Festival is committed to screening the best of British cinema ranging across the spectrum from the first feature of a bright new talent to the latest offerings from some of the industry's veteran talents.The Festival gives Glasgow audiences the first chance to see some of great new films from around the world which include the Italian box-office hit My Brother Is An Only Child with hot new heartthrob Riccardo Scarmarcio and French charmer Water Lilies.You may not able to travel around the world in eighty films yet but the Festival scouts have watched films from around the globe to present a selection of the very finest in Glasgow. Work on display ranges from great new features from South Africa and Argentina via award-winning work from Lebanon and China.
Independent cinema has been a proving ground for some of the best and brightest filmmaking talents. Glasgow presents a chance to view the cream of this year's American indie crop from critically acclaimed Sundance sensations to Oscar-nominated documentaries on the issues that matter most. The Festival's annual focus on national cinema expands from one country to explore the great renaissance of filmmaking throughout the countries of Eastern Europe. The recent acclaim for the prize-winning 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days and The Death Of Mr Lazarescu has concentrated attention on Romania but the Festival focus includes an inspiring, wide-ranging selection of new films from Romania, Poland, Hungary, Serbia and the Czech Republic. Something Wicked This Way Comes - FrightFest , the UK's biggest and best Fantasy and Horror Film Festival, returns to Glasgow with fresh blood for 2008. The programme of scary movies old and new is guaranteed to set the pulse racing for all tartan terror fans. Last year, they tingled the spine with The Tripper, Turistas and Motel Hell. This year things will go bump in the night. Be warned, tickets always sell fast.
