In the meantime: I am excited, as always, by the GFT. Here's the churn...
Presented as part of BFI’s national Sci-Fi Days of Fear and Wonder season, Glasgow Film’s voyage into the unknown and unexpected continues with science fiction classics alongside modern tales of terror and awe.
The season features a special focus on director Stanley Kubrick, with the re-release of 2001: A Space Odyssey (Friday 28 November – Thursday 4 December). GFT will also welcome Stanley Kubrick’s brother-in-law, confidant and regular executive producer, Jan Harlan, following a special screening of A.I Artificial Intelligence on Wednesday 10 December. Harlan will give the audience the insider’s story of what it was like to work with Steven Spielberg to bring Kubrick’s original, unrealised vision for the film to screen.
Anyone got any acid? I hear that gives this film a bit of an edge. Although I am obviously not encouraging drug use.
Also in this season, the previously announced TEKNOWOMEN strand begins in November, featuring screenings in association with Glasgow Women’s Library and charting the depiction of women in science fiction. GFT can now confirm that author, broadcaster and journalist Muriel Gray will attend the screening of Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines on Saturday 29 November and join author Zoë Strachan and comic artist Gill Hatcher in a post-screening discussion on superheroines.
