The team behind Glasgow Film Festival has finally unveiled the programme for its 2021 edition, featuring several award-winning festival favourites such as Minari and Black Bear.
Due to the current continuation of local restrictions and lockdowns, the 17th edition of the festival will be taking place entirely digitally via the new viewing platform Glasgow Film At Home. However the lineup excitingly includes six world premieres, two European premieres and 49 UK premieres.
The festival will open with Lee Isaac Chung’s acclaimed festival hit Minari, which won the grand jury prize and audience award when it premiered at Sundance.
Other premieres include The Mauritanian, directed by Kevin Macdonald, Welsh thriller The Toll, Chino Moya’s futuristic, dystopian Undergods, Lawrence Michael Levine’s psychosexual drama Black Bear and Riders of Justice, starring Mads Mikkelsen as a military vet set on a path of revenge.
FrightFest also returns to Glasgow Film Festival with six thrilling new titles for horror film fans.
