Glasgow Film Festival To Open With Gandolfini's IN THE LOOP

Now in its fifth year, the annual Glasgow Film Festival brings together cinema from around the world, past and present, old and new talent.

GFF09 will, as before, be hosting an eclectic range of blockbusters, independents, documentaries, shorts and artists films. Many of these films will be screening for the first time, many may never be screened again, so there is no better time to catch them. We'll also be bringing you great guests, exciting events and much more...

James Gandolfini, Steve Coogan, David Rasche and Anna Chlumsky will star in the political satire "In the Loop," which will open the festival. The film is a satire of the inner workings of British and American government. 

GFF09 is proud to announce a retrospective of silver screen legend, Audrey Hepburn. This beloved and enduringly popular icon will be represented with screenings of her classic films, all testament to her talent, style, grace and beauty.

What's more, we have expanded our festivals within the festival. For those with short attention spans there's the Shorts Film Festival curated by The Magic Lantern, while the Music Film Festival promises new sights and sounds. The Youth Film Festival caters for young film fans from 3 to 18 and includes schools screenings - book early to take advantage of our early bird discounts.

Finally, FrightFest returns, with enough scares, spooks and screams to fill a weekend.

Add to this a strand in which we say "Viva Mexico!", and the regular ingredients of Documentaries, Great Scots, British, European and American Independent strands.
