Glasgow Film Festival 2025 to focus on Austria
How do you fancy watching Coyote Ugly at the Grand Ole Opry ?
Organisers of next year's Glasgow Film Festival have announced the country of focus will be Austria.
The From the Heart of Europe: Austria on Screen programme brings an eclectic mix from hard-hitting drama to absurdist comedy.
Josef Hader’s tragicomedy Andrea Gets a Divorce about a policewoman whose life is turned upside down after an accident with her ex-husband, is joined by Gina, directed by Ulrike Kofler, which explores the impact of generational poverty.
There will also be special screenings happening at a range of venues across the city including the classic Australian rom-com Muriel’s Wedding (1994), Coyote Ugly (2000) and 1990s teen horror The Craft (1996).
Cottiers in Glasgow’s West End and Govan’s Grand Ole Opry are just some of the venues playing host to these screenings.
The full list of venues will be announced in January .
Allison Gardner, CEO of Glasgow Film and Director of GFF, said: “At Glasgow Film Festival we always look forward to reaching new audiences whether it be through our UK wide screenings or special events.
"Our special events promise to be a highlight as each new festival comes around as it offers our audiences a truly interactive experience with film.
"We are very excited to present Country Focus From the Heart of Europe: Austria on Screen, bringing some of the best of Austria’s new and repertory film to Glasgow's big screens."
