Solaris

Our loyal audience has a healthy appetite for science fiction, and we will celebrate this passion with back-to-back screenings of Solaris and Blade Runner: The Final Cut on Sunday 26 May as part of our Anniversary Programme. One of the first director-focused seasons at GFT in May 1974 was devoted to Andrei Tarkovsky and his filmmaking continues to hold a special place in our audiences’ affections. In his sci-fi drama Solaris, a psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting a planet called Solaris to investigate the death of a doctor and the mental problems of cosmonauts on the station. He soon discovers that the water on the planet is a type of brain which brings out repressed memories and obsessions. In Russian and German with English subtitles. --------------- Year of Celebration: 2024 marks 85 years since our cinema (originally the Cosmo) was built, 50 years since GFT was founded and the 20th edition of Glasgow Film Festival. We are celebrating with a programme of special screenings taking place throughout May, showcasing films that have been hugely popular with audiences and have played a unique role in the history of GFT over the past five decades. Browse the Anniversary Programme at https://www.glasgowfilm.org/anniversary-programme Whilst our box office and bar sales only cover around 50% of our annual costs and help keep the film reels rolling, we rely on donations and fundraising to run our education and community activities.
