Glasgow Film Festival underway with opening gala screening
The red carpet was rolled out last night for the Opening Gala screening of the movie which got the 13th Glasgow Film Festival underway.
The Irish coming-of-age movie 'Handsome Devil' which stars young actor Fionn O'Shea, Andrew Scott who played Moriarty in Sherlock and Father Ted's Ardal O'Hanlon also got its European premiere.
Holby City star, Glasgow's very own Joe McFadden was at the screening and spoke to our Chief Reporter Linda Sinclair:
The Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) will feature more than 300 events and screenings, showcasing more than 180 movies from 38 countries.
About 40,000 people attended the 2016 festival, with organisers expecting a similar audience this year.
It will feature nine world and international premieres, three European premieres, 65 UK premieres and 67 Scottish premieres.
David Tennant will bring the curtain down on February 26 with the world premiere of his latest movie Mad To Be Normal, about a pioneering Scottish psychiatrist.
On February 22, the festival will stage the world premiere of Benny, the story of Benny Lynch, widely considered the greatest boxer Scotland has ever produced.
The festival will also cater for music fans, with the sold-out screening of Lost In France at Sauchiehall Street's O2 ABC looking at the rise of Scotland's independent music scene and bands such as Mogwai, Arab Strap and Franz Ferdinand.
There will also be a live performance from Scottish stars including Alex Kapranos and Stuart Braithwaite.
As well as enjoying screenings at the GFT, the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Cineworld and the Grosvenor, audiences can also savour films in more unusual locations at pop-up cinemas from the slope at the Snow Factor to the Barras Art and Design centre.
Festival co-director Allan Hunter said: "It's always great to get to the opening night and kick it off.
"We've got a really joyous, uplifting film as well that I think sets the tone."
