There was a lot going on on the last Saturday of the Glasgow Film Festival, which began with a screening of Irish charmer Metal Heart, the story of two very different sisters. Director Hugh O’Connor discussed it with the audience afterwards and explained that he had been determined from the outset to treat his characters respectfully and was never going to have a Breakfast Club ending where the goth character was made over to look like a popular girl. Russian drama Summer immersed itself in the revolutionary atmosphere of rock music in Leningrad in the 1980s, the première of Dirty God - attended by director Sacha Polak and star Vicky Knight – saw a young mother reclaiming her life after being scarred in an acid attack, and documentary Netizens took on the issue of the harassment of women online.

Celebrating the return of one of Glasgow's leading venues for independent film Photo: Stuart Crawford
For a time the fate of Glasgow's Centre for Contempory Arts seemed uncertain. The aftermath of the (second) devastating blaze to tear through the Mackintosh Building of the School of Art left much of the surrounding area in chaos for months, with residents unable to return to their homes and several of the smaller local businesses forced into closure. The loss of the Mac was already a blow to the city: for the Cca to have fallen to the same incident would have been heartbreaking. Fortunately, Glasgow is made of sterner stuff: the Cca is back with a bang, and that means party time.
It's after 10pm when I arrive. The free beer ran out at around half seven, the free space about eight o'clock. The current hot commodity is breathable air and there's precious little of that.

The Glasgow Film Festival has something of a reputation for thrills and spills, and 2019 looks set to be no exception, with the first big events announced today. Brave film fans will have the opportunity to run around a warehouse with laser guns trying to escape a xenomorph before the survivors settle down with themed cocktails to enjoy the 40th anniversary restoration print of Alien. There will also be a 20th anniversary screening of The Matrix with immersive installations and an exclusive party deep in the caverns of Argyle Street Arches.
Also announced today is a festival strand dedicated to contemporary Belgian cinema, which will include Lucas Dhont's Girl, Marta Bergman's Alone At My Wedding and more. A strand dedicated to the great American cinema of 1969 will feature Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid,...

Four months after the devastating fire that ripped through Glasgow's historic School Of Art and damaged numerous local buildings, the Cca is reopening to the public. From noon tomorrow its regular programme of film screenings and events will be back in business, and the Saramago Café Bar will also reopen.
"We've got a fantastic programme of exhibitions, gigs, films, workshops and festivals lined up over the next few months. We've been overwhelmed by the huge support we've had throughout this - thank you to everyone for their support," said Head of Operations Ailsa Nazir.
The following week's events will include films from Screening Irish History and Matchbox Cineclub, whose four day #WeirdHorror event will entertain fans over Halloween. It includes Lair Of The White Worm and Beyond The Black Rainbow.

Happier times in the Cca Photo: Stuart Crawford
The future of Glasgow's Cca continues to hang in the balance after it was denied permission to reopen this month. There is, however, some good news for the venue, which was closed following the fire at the Glasgow School of Art earlier this year, as it has finally received payment from the Fire Recovery Fund.
Eye For Film contacted the Scottish Government yesterday to enquire about the status of the payment and was told "Cca already receives significant public funding as an arts organisation, meaning that more time is needed to process their application for money from this fund. We recognise the very important work which Cca carries out and we will seek to resolve this application as soon as possible." The Cca's head of operations, Ailsa Nazir, subsequently confirmed that the venue had received payment that very day.

The Sauchiehall Street fire Photo: Stuart Crawford
A massive fire took hold on Glasgow's Sauciehall Street at around 08:00 this morning, between the Gft and Cineworld Glasgow. It appears to have started in the roofspace of Victoria's nightclub and expanded into the space above the Holland & Barret health store. It is producing large quantities of potentially toxic smoke, so the immediate area has been evacuated.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has 15 fire engines and over 120 firefighters battling the blaze. No casualties have been reported so far. "This is an extremely challenging incident, but the response and professionalism of our firefighters has been outstanding," said Assistant Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay, who is in charge of the incident.
"This will be a protracted incident and crews will remain on the scene as they work to prevent further fire spread and damage in this prominent city centre location. We would urge the occupants of surrounding buildings to.

The Glasgow Film Festival has announced a return to normal today following two days of severe diruption caused by snow.
Most Q&As scheduled to take place today have been cancelled, but writer Bernard MacLaverty will still attend to talk about his 1984 film, Cal.
The Frightfest team, who were stranded in Preston yesterday when their train from London was unable to get any further, managed to obtain a vehicle and drove into Glasgow today, less than an hour before their first film was due to screen. There are still expected to be some guests present at Frightfest events but Q&As there have officially been cancelled..
The amber warning from the Met Office applied to the Glasgow area was today downgraded to a yellow alert for snow. Traffic is returning to normal but drivers are advised to take extra care. Limited bus...

Big snowflakes were gently drifting down from the sky on the morning of day seven of the Glasgow Film Festival, but no-one had any idea of the chaos that was to come. The day opened with another free screening in the Rebel Heroes series, seeing Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis as escaped convicts cuffed together in The Defiant Ones, and there are was also a screening or bizarre marketing experiment docudrama Drib.

The Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival is opening in Glasgow today with a spectacular day of events at the Kelvingrove Museum. A fashion show, dance show and fan dance are all open open to the public, who are also invited to participate in open tai chi sessions. Several music events and workshops on arts-related subjects round out the day, and there will be a chance to meet Amal Azzudin, whose actions as a schoolgirl to help a friend in trouble, leading to a change in the law, are remembered in the documentary Glasgow Girls.
"Our festival was founded upon the belief that arts and film have the power to raise awareness of social injustice and to stimulate change. The result is a compelling programme which we hope will challenge, inspire and entertain," said festival director Lee Knifton, commenting on a programme of films and events whose theme,...

Friday was the day of the César Awards, so it made sense that it should begin with a screening of Quai D'Orsay at the Glasgow Film Festival. The biting French political satire would go on to help Niels Arestrup win a Best Supporting Actor gong, and President Hollande was probably counting his blessings when its star Julie Gayet, with whom he had an affair (and, more scandalously, got caught) missed out on Best Supporting Actress. A sort of Gallic In The Loop, this film could well help to revive the French film industry, which has struggled over the past year, due to it added real life political cachet.

Screening films chosen by young people for young people, the Glasgow Youth Film Festival, which precedes the main festival in February, is one of the biggest youth cinema events in Europe. Today it announced its 2014 line-up, with The Dirties heading up a a selection which ranges from animated spookfest ParaNorman to Mark Cousins' insightful documentary A Story Of Children And Film.
"Although a lot of the films in our programme are about teenage life, we’re not just putting on a bunch of Ferris Bueller rip-offs," said 16 year old programmer Matthew Cairns. "The issues, and the quality of films in our programme, are real and relevant. We’ve got a film as haunting, brilliant and raw as The Dirties, alongside Leave To Remain, which deals with issues affecting teenage asylum seekers in the UK right now. Other films in...

Eleanor Parker Now on TCM Palms Springs area resident Eleanor Parker, who turns 91 next June 26, is Turner Classic Movies’ Star of the Month of June. One of the best actresses of Hollywood’s studio era, Parker isn’t nearly as well-remembered today as she should be despite three Best Actress Academy Award nominations (Caged, 1950; Detective Story, 1951; Interrupted Melody, 1955), a number of box-office and/or critical hits, and a key role in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time (The Sound of Music). Hopefully, the 34 Eleanor Parker movies TCM will be showing each Monday this month — beginning tonight — will help to introduce the actress to a broader 21st-century audience. Eleanor Parker movies "When I am spotted somewhere it means that my characterizations haven’t covered up Eleanor Parker the person. I prefer it the other way around," Parker once said. In fact, the title of Doug McClelland’s 1989 Eleanor Parker bio,...

Thursday morning at the Glasgow Film Festival offered the chance to catch up on some of the best films screened there so far, plus some strong new ones, including the thoughtful drama about assisted dying A Few Hours Of Spring. A young women's boyfriend falling for another man called for a re-examination of contemporary relationships in The Sex Of The Angels, sexual tension turned domesticity upside down in In The House, and there was tense drama in A Hijacking (review coming soon), Andrew Robertson's favourite of the festival so far.

It was a Marvellous morning at the Glasgow Film Festival on Tuesday, as comics fans lined up for a chance to see all their favourite Marvel movies on the big screen in a row - Iron Man, Captain America and Avengers Assemble. With Kapow!@Gff strand director Mark Millar now a creative consultant on forthcoming Marvel films, the festival has the inside track on what's happening with their heroes.
It was a busy day for Mark as later he had a special guest to interview - Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, who cut short a meeting with the Swedish ambassador to get to the Gft for a performance of his favourite geek movie. John Carpenter's Ghosts Of Mars might not be everybody's first choice, but Salmond justified it fairly well, saying he sees it as a reworking of Quatermass And The Pit,...

On Sunday morning, strange rumours began to circulate about the Gft, where the Glasgow Film Festival is centered. Something had been seen gliding through the foyer. Was it safe to go? Would it scare away the crowds? On further investigation, it emerged that the metal monster was everybody's favourite alien menace, a dalek - and far from being deterred, film fans were queueing round the block.
