Welcome
Glasgow Film Festival 2012 is in full swing and will run until Sunday 26 February in sixteen different venues across the city (including a swimming pool and The Tall Ship!). Feature films, shorts, special events, and live and interactive happenings sit side by side in our unique programme. This year look out for a centenary celebration of toe-tapping legend Gene Kelly, a stunning collection of contemporary German films, boundary-blurring cinema in our new Crossing the Line strand and our kick-ass superhero strand curated by Mark Millar. We're dedicated to putting on a truly great festival for film lovers from Glasgow and festival attendees from around the world - so come along and enjoy yourself!
Glasgow Youth Film Festival and Glasgow Short Film Festival sit outside the dates of the main Festival programme. They have finished for this year.
