Girl Walk // All Day is feature-length dance music video and a tale of urban exploration that follows three dancers across New York City as they turn the city's sidewalks, parks and architecture into an evolving stage.
Dancers leap, spin and jump to mixes from DJ Girl Talk's incredible album All Day, featuring samples from Rihanna, Daft Punk, and Beastie Boys among countless others. Girl Walk // All Day was named the 'Most Innovative Music Video of 2011' and was an official selection of the 2012 SXSW Film Festival.
To celebrate this extraordinary film, Glasgow Youth Film Festival took Girl Walk // All Day to the streets of Glasgow on Wednesday 13 February 2013. 150 people attended the screening, despite the pouring rain!

Director of new London based action thriller Welcome to the Punch Eran Creevy, tells us all about getting the film made, getting Ridley Scott on board and the new generation of British filmmakers.
Could Eran Creevy be Britain's answer to Michael Mann? There's plenty of evidence to support the theory in his second feature Welcome to the Punch, a sleek, steely thriller in the tradition of Heat. A bank heist goes wrong. A young man is found with a gunshot wound. He just happens to be the son of notorious criminal Jacob Sternwood (Mark Strong) and if anything is going to flush him out of hiding and back to Britain it is a critically ill son. Detective Max Lewinsky (James McAvoy) is determined to put Sternwood behind bars and grows increasingly obsessive and reckless in his pursuit of justice. A cracking, guns blazing cat-and-mouse thriller with an amazing cast of top British talent.
Glasgow Film Festival talks to stars of Aftershock Eli Roth, Lorenza Izzo and Director Nicolás López about the making of the film, some of it's ideas and Chilean health and safety laws.
Producer, co-writer, star and genre guru Eli Roth becomes the new Master of Disaster. Three tourists and their three Chilean guides head to Valparaiso for the last days of their South American holiday. But as they dance the night away in a crowded nightclub, a massive earthquake hits the area causing widespread death, destruction and urban anarchy. Who will survive in this dark, intense and unpredictable mix of disaster flick and horror thriller? This film grips with the excitement of a classic Irwin Allen 1970s epic and delivers the bloodiest of shocks as buildings collapse along with society.
After the closing gala screening of Much Ado About Nothing for the 2013 Glasgow Film Festival, Director Joss Whedon sits down with festival co-director Allan Hunter to talk about the film and answer some audience questions.
Game of Thrones comes to the Glasgow Film Festival. After a screening of the penultimate episode of season 2 "Blackwater", Rory McCann sat down with the audience to answer their questions, leaving one of them with a very special item.
In these videos, Rory talks about his experiences working on the show, being recognised as the Hound, causing woes for the props department and very vague hints about what to expect in season 3.
He also talks a little about his own career and experiences, as far back as being an extra on Willow.
WARNING: This does take place after a season 2 screening. So if you haven't finished the second season, be wary of spoilers.

On the closing gala of the 2013 Glasgow Film Festival before the screening of his new adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, sits down with the Glasgow Film Festival to talk about the technological advances in small budget film making and it's importance in the current age of movies.
Joss Whedon talks to the Glasgow Film Festival about shooting his new adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
When you have just made the biggest and best superhero blockbuster ever -- Avengers Assemble -- what do you do for an encore? In the case of Joss Whedon, he gathered together a group of acting friends at his Santa Monica home and over the next twelve days shot an inspired, inventive modern day version of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays in gorgeous black and white. The pursuit of happiness is strewn with unexpected obstacles in this breezy, warmly witty and supremely accessible Shakespeare adaptation. A triumphant labour of love from one of the most creative and versatile talents in American film. UK premiere.
The 2013 Glasgow Film Festival launched with a bang with the UK Premiere of Régis Roinsard's Populaire followed by an amazing party.
Director Scott Graham and star of Shell Chloe Pirrie give us an insight into the process of preparing to shoot Shell and the significance of using the landscape of the Highlands in a story of isolation.
The debut feature of Scots director Scott Graham delivers on all the promise of his short films. Set in a striking vision of the wild Scottish Highlands, it features a star-making performance from newcomer Chloe Pirrie as Shell, a teenager living in a remote service station with her father Pete (Joseph Mawle), a dour, damaged shadow of a man. Shell is as alive as the howling wind and as glowing as the pale moonlight. The film is all the more poignant for the way it contrasts her curious, luminous presence with the starkness of the surroundings and her growing sense of a waiting world outside her experience.
Director Neil Jordan, producer Stephen Woolley, Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan talk about their new film Byzantium. Stephen talks about where the script originally came from, while Gemma and Saoirse talk about the dynamic of playing the mother/daughter relationship. Neil Jordan talks about returning to the vampire genre and his experiences watching Twilight.
Byzantium is a haunting, visually sublime and unique take on ancient undead mythology. Clara (Gemma Arterton) is a 200-year-old vampire who works in sleazy strip clubs and prostitutes herself to support her vampire daughter, Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan). But this deadly duo are no ordinary vampires; Clara drains the scum of the earth and Eleanor acts as an angel of death preying on the suffering elderly. When the two daughters of darkness open up a bordello in a seedy seaside guesthouse, shocking secrets going back through tortured centuries must be suppressed.
Mike Peters, lead singer of The Alarm tells us all about the Sara Sugarman directed Vinyl, the story of Mike's real life hoax in 2004 that fooled the music industry.
Mike talks to us about his story, working with old friend Sara Sugarman and ageism in modern media.
The punk spirit lives on in Vinyl, a breezy lark of a comedy from writer/director Sara Sugarman. Based on the true story of Mike Peters' rock and roll hoax in 2004 it stars Phil Daniels as Johnny Jones, a member of the once revered Weapons of Happiness, now living in the miserable afterglow of his fame. A reunion with his former band members leads to a new pop punk single that has the potential to put them back on top. However, as they find themselves working within an increasingly superficial music industry, it's not long before the band discover that nobody wants to sign some decrepit old punks. Johnny decides to fake it, manufacturing a hot young Welsh band as the Trojan horse in his cunning comeback plans.
Punk Icon Terri Hooley talks to the Glasgow Film Festival about the new movie Good Vibrations which tells his very own story.
In the video, Terri talks about the problems in Belfast in the late 70's and the importance of punk in such a troubled area.
Relive your teenage kicks with the touching and hilarious story of how record shop owner Terri Hooley, against a backdrop of sectarian violence and political upheaval, bridged the divide between Catholic and Protestant and brought the youth of Belfast together in their shared love of punk. This is a dramatized version of events surrounding the beginnings of the Good Vibrations record label which helped launch the career of The Undertones, Rudi and many other Northern punk bands at the height of the Troubles -- offering a glimmer of unity and hope in a time of warfare. Featuring a warmhearted portrayal of Hooley by Richard Dormer, this is a glowing tribute to a remarkable man and a striking testament to the transportive power of music.
First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond sits down with comic book legend Mark Millar to talk about the geekier things in life. In this second part, Salmond talks about Scotland's first Satellites, more Star Trek, the Bonnybridge Triangle and faces some tough questions in Mark Millar's geek pop quiz.
First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond sits down with comic book legend Mark Millar to talk about the geekier things in life. Salmond discusses his love of John Carpenter films (good and bad), Quatermass and reminisces about watching Star Trek and reading DC and Marvel comics.
Actor James D'Arcy talks about the amazing Cloud Atlas which screened at the 2013 Glasgow Film Festival. James talks about the difficulty of adapting the film to screen, filming in Glasgow and preparing for one of his smaller roles in the film.
The heavily anticipated Cloud Atlas is set to receive its first UK screening at Glasgow Film Festival this weekend. Star James D'Arcy will be in attendance to promote the film, a collaboration between the box office bothering Wachowski siblings and Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer. Adapted from David Mitchell's best-selling novel, the film is set across many centuries and world locations, and boasts turns from a plethora of the planet's most popular actors.
It's no coincidence that the movie should debut in Glasgow, as one of its myriad segments was shot in the city during 2011, the year that saw three big name productions pass through the city, all of which are based on novels and due for imminent release. World War Z, starring Brad Pitt and hundreds of Glaswegian zombie extras, transformed George Square into an apocalyptic Philadelphia. The adaptation of Scottish resident Michel Faber's Under the Skin, meanwhile, set Scarlett Johansson loose in a variety of local spots.
The production of Cloud Atlas presented the city centre's financial district south of Blythswood Square and around Montrose Street as 1970s San Francisco. Its steep hills and unassuming architecture provide the perfect backdrop for the vintage cars and trucks seen idling in nearby car parks along the south-west corner of the city centre. For audience members, spilling out of the GFT onto the set of the film will surely be a unique experience.
During the shooting, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent were spotted enjoying their leisure time in the city, though little was seen of the shy and retiring co-directors. A truly international production, Glasgow can't take full responsibility for Cloud Atlas' aesthetics but there's no denying it has made yet another strong addition to its growing resumé as a prime filmmaking location.
Author of original novel The Dark Room (on which Lore is based) and producer of the film Paul Welsh, sit down to tell us all about the process of getting Lore to the big screen and the basis for the story itself.
Director Cate Shortland's long-awaited second feature is a powerful, poetic drama that views the aftermath of Hitler's Germany through the eyes of fourteen-year-old Hannelore, played by impressive newcomer Saskia Rosendahl. As her parents face the consequences of their part in the Nazi era, Lore is left to care for her brothers and sisters. Their incredible journey across a ravaged, defeated land confronts the privileged Lore with all the brutal realities of the country her parents helped to create. A thought-provoking reflection on a moment in time told with a lyrical sense of landscape and heartbreaking emotion.
Documentary film maker Yasmin Fedda talks about her new film A Tale of Two Syrias and talks about her experiences filming in Syria in the year leading up to the Syrian uprising.
Largely filmed before the Syrian uprising in 2011, it captures a sense of life in Damascus and individuals struggling to find a space where they can feel safe, secure and respected. The politics of repression and the heavy hand of Bashar al-Assad's regime are never far from view but the human interest lies in the stories of Salem, a homeless fashion designer, and Botrous, a football-loving monk who lives in the remote hillside monastery of Mar Musa. An amazing insight into a land of great beauty and brutal oppression.
Make a note of the name Rob Savage -- it is one you will want to remember. Writer/ director/photographer Savage turned eighteen on the first day of shooting this hugely impressive first feature that dodges the obvious clichés for a raw, realistic evocation of teenage romance in all its messy awkwardness. In the last weeks of term before school is out forever, German exchange student Grace falls for quiet, introspective Jon while her best friend Scout finds her love/hate relationship with boyfriend Chris growing increasingly volatile. Made on a budget of just £3,000 and marked by its freshness and maturity, this is the work of a talented newcomer.
Writer/Director Régis Roinsard talks with the Glasgow Film Festival about his new film Populaire, which was screening as part of the festival's 2013 opening gala.
In the video, Régis talks about his insporations for the film's style and subject matter.
Populaire is a sparkling romantic comedy that matches Gallic savoir faire with vintage Hollywood style. The retro look of Mad Men and the glossy allure of a Doris Day/Rock Hudson tussle are among the influences on this beautifully crafted first feature from Régis Roinsard, the director of dazzling music videos and award-winning short films. Packed with period colour, Populaire is sheer delight and the fantastic soundtrack is the icing on a very special cake.
To mark the arrival of Glasgow Film Festival on Valentines Day, Samba Ya Bamba welcomed passengers landing at Glasgow Airport with a pop-up drumming event and a little taste of Brazil. Glasgow Film Festival 2013 runs from 14 - 24 February, and this year is celebrating New Brazilian Cinema, video game-themed films, and the life and work of James Cagney.

Writer/director Zam Salim, producer Annalise Davis and actress Kirsty Strain (Burnistoun) discuss Zam's feature film debut Up There, which was screened as part of the Great Scots strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
Zam Salim's keenly awaited first feature is a witty, wonderfully lugubrious dark comedy that views life after death in a way that you have never seen before. Adapted from Salim's prize-winning short Laid off, Up There stars Burn 'Torchwood' Gorman as Mark. Killed in a car crash, Mark discovers that the afterlife is run by an officious, Kafka-like bureaucracy and has none of the benefits of being able to walk through walls or send shivers up the spine. Assigned the role of carer with motormouth novice Rash (Aymen Hamdouchi) as his sidekick, he is dispatched in search of a runaway. When he meets Liz (Kate O'Flynn) he might just have found a good reason for staying dead.
Special thanks to Woodenbox for providing trailer music.
Appearing courtesy of Cry Parrot, Umberto performs a live soundtrack to 80s slasher horror Pieces in the eerie settings of SWG3, as part of the Glasgow Music and Film Festival 2012. The film's title was kept a secret until the performance started.
A true master of the horror film soundtrack aesthetic, Umberto's music is a hypnotic, all-consuming journey, reeling you into a foggy, neon-lit world of graveyards, stalkers, haunted houses, witches and blood-stained corpses. Evoking the unsettling progressive rock of Goblin and the sinister, dystopian synth-work of John Carpenter, his acclaimed releases are as playful and experimental as they are expertly crafted. Flying over from Kansas City, Missouri for this special performance, Umberto will provide a live soundtrack to a secret film of his choice in cutting-edge arts venue SWG3. Co-presented by independent promoters Cry Parrot, expect a suitably creepy production and otherworldly performance.
NOTE: This video contains scenes of extreme violence.
Vocalist/oscillation-ist Simeon, one half of pioneering electronic music duo Silver Apples - missing late drummer Danny Taylor - closes the Glasgow Music and Film Festival 2012 with a rare and exclusive live performance at Mono.
Pioneers of space and electronic rock, hugely influential avant-garde duo Silver Apples formed in 1967 in New York. A contrast to the flowery psychedelic rock of the 1960s, they assembled an assortment of filters, telegraph keys, radio parts, lab gear and a variety of second-hand electronic junk and oscillators to create their minimalistic, experimental sound. They have influenced everyone from Kraftwerk to Suicide and Spacemen 3.
The 2012 Glasgow Film Festival and Bafta Scotland were very lucky to play host to scottish actor Brian Cox. In an evening in which he discussed his life and career with festival co-director Allan Hunter.
In this clip, Brian talks briefly about his thoughts on scottish cinema, where it stands and where it should go next.
Before Big Brother gripped the nation or David Cronenberg entered the Videodrome, Bertrand Tavernier came to Glasgow to film this strikingly prescient futuristic drama. Ace reporter Roddy (Harvey Keitel) has a camera implanted in his eye to record everything he sees. His job is to capture the last days of the terminally ill Katherine (Romy Schneider) for the viewing pleasure of voyeuristic millions. Refusal to comply is not an option in a cult classic that earned five César nominations and makes atmospheric use of the decaying industrial heartland of 1970s Glasgow. Long unseen in the UK, a new restoration was screened in the Glasgow Film Theatre during the 2012 Glasgow Film Festival.
Director Bertrand Tevarnier tells us about why he chose Glasgow as the striking backdrop to his science fiction classic and shares memories of his time on the shoot.
Director Murray Grigor and cinematographer David Peat discuss making Big Banana Feet and reveal that the screening at Glasgow Film Festival was from the only print left in existence!
Inspired by DA Pennebaker's classic Bob Dylan documentary Don't Look Now, director Murray Grigor and cinematographer David Peat followed Billy Connolly on his 1975 Irish tour from the opening concert in Dublin to the final night in Belfast. Unlike Dylan, Billy Connolly welcomes the presence of the filmmakers and invites the viewer into his world. The result is a fascinating time capsule of the young Connolly at the height of his powers braving a tense political situation with a breezy: 'naw, ah'm no scared'.
Writer/Director Gareth Evans takes a moment to tell us about his new movie The Raid which saw it's UK Premiere at Frightfest 2012 as part of the Glasgow Film Festival.
The Raid reunites Gareth with his Merantau star Iko Uwais for the high octane, adrenalin-fuelled cult film of the year. In Jakarta's poorest neighbourhood sits a fifteen-storey building that is a refuge for the most dangerous criminals in Indonesia. When an elite SWAT force, led by tough cop Rama, attempts to bring down the building's defences, the operation doesn't go according to plan and the team wind up trapped inside. Packed with dynamic stunts The Raid is an elegant, super-charged action flick that will hold you in its grip until the breathtaking finale.
Writer/director Andreas Dresen (Grill Point, Cloud 9) discusses his latest feature film Stopped on Track (Halt auf freier Strecke), which was screened as part of the Welcome to Germany strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
A good life is measured by the quality of its passing in Stopped on Track, an emotionally intense, utterly absorbing account of a dying man's last months. Director Andreas Dresen has a rare talent for addressing subject matter that other filmmakers consider taboo, from the sex lives of septuagenarians in the brilliant Cloud 9 (2008) to terminal illness in this film. Drawing on real-life situations and featuring genuine members of the medical profession, the fictional tale follows 40-year-old Frank from the moment he discovers his brain tumour is inoperable through all the stages of anger, denial and acceptance. It is unrelentingly heartbreaking but also incredibly life-affirming.
Illustrator Charlie Adlard discusses his contributions to The Walking Dead graphic novel/comic series and the success of its subsequent TV adaptation, while appearing as part of the Kapow!@GFF strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
Apocalyptic graphic novel The Walking Dead, a survival story of a world overtaken by zombies, captured the imaginations of a legion of fans and is now a multi-million dollar US TV series. In this unique event, Shropshire-based artist Charlie Adlard drops in on GFF to discuss how he came on board as illustrator for the series and the effect it has had on his career. After the conversation we will screen one of Charlie's favourite episodes from the Golden Globe-nominated series. An unmissable event for fans keen to delve deeper into one of the hottest comics and TV shows around.
Writer/director/actor Patrick Wang discusses his debut feature film In the Family, which was screened as part of The State of Independents strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
British hit Weekend signalled a new era in gay cinema with a universal emotional appeal. In the Family makes good on that promise with a compelling, beautifully modulated tale of love, devotion and family. Writer/director/star Patrick Wang justifies every minute of the film's marathon running time as he builds a detailed, unerringly authentic personal drama that has earned him comparisons with John Cassavetes and Douglas Sirk. Wang stars as Joey, the partner of schoolteacher Cody (Trevor St John) and joint father of Cody's six-year-old son Chip (an astonishing Sebastian Brodziak). When Cody dies, his sister uses an old will to claim custody of Chip leaving Joey out in the cold struggling to gain recognition of his part in the boy's life. The result is captivating and heart-rending. One of the best American independent films of the past year.
Co-writer/actor Sally Phillips (Smack the Pony) and director Sheree Folkson (A Royal Scandal) discuss their feature film The Decoy Bride, which was screened as part of the Great Scots strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
Bridget Jones meets Local Hero in this fizzy romantic confection that features a sparkling screwball comedy performance from Kelly Macdonald. Hollywood star Lara (Alice Eve) and her writer fiancé James (David Tennant) are desperate for a quiet romantic wedding far from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. The tiny Scottish island of Hegg seems ideal but the media are soon descending in their hordes. A cunning plan is devised to stage a fake wedding and throw them off the trail. Local lass Katie (Macdonald) is the decoy bride but nothing goes entirely as expected in an entertaining romp with echoes of I Know Where I'm Going.
Writer/director Thom Fitzgerald (The Hanging Garden, 3 Needles) discusses his latest feature film Cloudburst, which was screened as part of the It's a Wonderful World strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
Imagine Thelma and Louise had lived happily ever after and matured into a loving lesbian couple who take no nonsense from anyone. Then you would have feisty Stella (Olympia Dukakis) and her beloved Dot (Brenda Fricker). In Thom Fitzgerald's award-winning delight Cloudburst, they have been together for over 30 years when Dot falls ill and her granddaughter dispatches her to a care facility. Stella is not about to let that happen and so steals her away in the middle of the night for a road trip to Nova Scotia where they can marry. Along the way, they encounter handsome hitchhiker Prentice (Ryan Doucette) in a film that expertly blends tender-hearted romance and uproarious comedy and gives Olympia Dukakis one of the best roles of her career.
Author Irvine Welsh, Writer/Director Rob Heydon and the talented Adam Sinclair and Olivia Andrup tell us all about the upcoming adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy, which had a screening and Q&A at the 2012 Glasgow Film Festival.
The authentic voice of Irvine Welsh shines through this long-awaited adaptation of 'The Undefeated' story from his Ecstasy collection. A charismatic Adam Sinclair stars as Lloyd, a drug-dealing, Edinburgh party animal having the time of his life at the heart of a vibrant rave scene. His mounting debt to the dodgy Solo is something that can wait for another day. Concern for his ailing father is the only cloud in his life. Then he meets the beguiling Heather (Kristin Kruek), a woman desperate to escape the shackles of her dull, respectable life. Can their giddy, chemical romance develop into the real deal? All they need is love in this stylish, energetic blast of pure Welsh.
Irvine Welsh tells us about his thoughts on working on film adaptations and Rob Heydon tells us about How Welsh helped on the production.
Adrian Laing, son of R.D. Laing tells us all about All Divided Selves, a new documentary by Director Luke Fowler.
Luke Fowler is a Glasgow-based artist and filmmaker. His work has been exhibited internationally, with solo shows at the Serpentine Gallery, London and in February 2012 at Inverleith House, Edinburgh. In 2008 he won the inaugural Derek Jarman Award for experimentation in film. In All Divided Selves Fowler returns to a subject he has tackled before (in What You See is Where You're At , 2001), that of the life and work of Glasgow counter-culture psychiatrist R D Laing. Drawing on an impressive selection of archive material, Fowler builds up a layered collage, juxtaposing a multitude of viewpoints to create an unconventional portrait of a fascinating figure and a thought-provoking exploration of the very nature of documentation.
Annie Ross is a jazz giant. Raised in Glasgow, her seven-decade career runs the gamut from precocious child star -- 'the Scottish Shirley Temple' -- to indefatigable living legend. In 'No One But Me', she discusses her many lives from Paris singer in the 1940s to incomparable lyricist in the 1950s and Covent Garden impresario in the 1960s. Along the way there are tales of Billie Holiday, her lover Lenny Bruce, triumph and tragedy, drug addiction and her deep, abiding affection for beloved brother Jimmy Logan. Throughout it all there is the beautiful, beguiling music often with her own lyrics and always performed in her inimitable style.
Annie attended the premiere of All About Me, which took place at the 2012 Glasgow Film Festival.
Actor/Writer/Director Dexter Fletcher tells us all about his directorial debut Wild Bill which was screening at the 2012 Glasgow Film Festival.
Wild Bill is a complete charmer with a very likeable central performance from Charlie Creed-Miles as 'Wild' Bill Hayward. Released from prison after an eight-year sentence, Bill returns to a South London estate planning to stay out of trouble, serve out his parole and then head to Scotland. But he cannot easily escape his history with the dodgy geezers and dangerous drug dealers on the estate or his obligations to fifteen-year-old Dean (Will Poulter) and his younger brother Jimmy (Sammy Williams). If he doesn't stick around the boys will be put in care, leaving Bill with the weight of the world on his shoulders in this surprisingly upbeat and endearing tale.
Will Poulter also talks about why he was excited to work on the project.
Director Dominik Moll (Lemming) discusses his latest feature film The Monk (Le Moine), which was screened as part of the European Cinema strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
The road to hell is paved with pious good intentions in this painterly, nerve-shredding version of the notorious 18th-century supernatural classic from Lemming director Dominik Moll. Vincent Cassel excels as Ambrosio, an abandoned infant raised by priests who has matured into a powerful and respected soldier of the Lord thanks to his unshakeable faith. 'Satan only has the power we grant him,' he argues. Why then is he plagued by blinding headaches and a recurring dream in which a woman in red is seen praying in the sunlight? The answer lies at the heart of a thunderous, torrid gothic tale in which Ambrosio's convictions are tested to the limit.
Actors Amara Karan (The Darjeeling Limited) and Reece Ritchie (The Lovely Bones) discuss their latest feature film All in Good Time, which was screened as part of the Best of British strand at the Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
East is East writer Ayub Khan-Din returns with another funny, tender-hearted portrait of family strife. Based on his popular play Rafta, Rafta (itself inspired by Bill Naughton's 1960s classic All in Good Time), the film is set in Bolton where Atul and Vina are celebrating their marriage. However, a honeymoon spent with his parents was not part of their plans. Thoughtless patriarch Eeshwar seems determined to emasculate and embarrass his son. As the weeks pass, consummating their union becomes an impossibility that threatens the couple's entire future. A breezy mixture of heartbreak and hilarity, All in Good Time also offers peerless performances from original stage stars Harish Patel and Meera Syal.

Glasgow Film Festival 2012 kicked off in style at the GFT with fun, films, music and guests. A good time was had by all, with music provided by the excellent Woodenbox!
Scottish Writer/Director Simon Arthur talks about his debut feature Silver Tongues which had it's UK Premiere here at the Glasgow Film Festival.
Expanded from his short of the same name, Silver Tongues has echoes of Soderbergh, Atom Egoyan and Michael Haneke as it reveals a darkly playful tale of deception and deceit. Gerry (Lee Tergesen) and Joan (Enid Graham) travel the backwaters of New York indulging their passion for role-playing to dangerous extremes. They enact scenarios designed to challenge, humiliate and manipulate everyone they meet from a newlywed couple to a sceptical police officer. Arthur keeps us constantly guessing about the dynamics of the relationship, creating an original film that is beautifully acted and full of intrigue.
Simon talks about the film and talks about his rather extreme research methods.
Humpday Writer/Director Lynn Shelton tells us about her new feature film Your Sister's Sister which saw it's UK premiere at the opening gala screening at 2012's Glasgow Film Festival.
The Film is about Jack (Mark Duplass), who is still struggling to come to terms with the death of his brother. So his best friend Iris (Emily Blunt) suggests he spend some time in an isolated family cottage. He arrives to discover Iris's half-sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) already in residence. Hannah is raw from a relationship that has ended after seven years. Initial hostility and awkwardness melts over a few drinks and some confessional conversation. Next morning Iris arrives unexpectedly, sensing an atmosphere. What happened the night before and can she and Jack ever stop being supportive friends long enough to become something more?
Lynn talks about the methods for shooting a largely improvised film and how it feels to open the Glasgow Film Festival.
Travellers at Glasgow Airport on Tuesday 14 February 2012 were treated to an unexpected dance routine reminiscent of quintessential song'n'dance man Gene Kelly, ahead of the retrospective of his films at Glasgow Film Festival.
The flashmob entertained passengers with a version of the legendary Singin' in the Rain dance, which made Kelly an icon.
Gene Kelly was one of the greatest all-round talents ever to tap-dance his way across the silver screen. Kelly left an indelible impression on the movies as an actor, director and choreographer which can be seen during Glasgow Film Festival 2012 in all-time classics like Anchors Aweigh (1945), The Pirate (1948), Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949), On the Town (1949), An American in Paris (1951), Singin' in the Rain (1952), Brigadoon (1954) and Hello, Dolly (1969) from 18--26 February.
The Gene Kelly retrospective is one of nineteen strands at Glasgow Film Festival 2012, which runs from 16 -- 26 February. For full details of Glasgow Film Festival 2012, please see www.glasgowfilm.org/festival

Glasgow Film Festival were delighted to welcome Treacle Jr writer/director Jamie Thraves and actor Aiden Gillen to the screening.
Filmed and edited Stow College's TV Production students.
Actor Aidan Gillen and writer/director Jamie Thraves visited the Glasgow Film Festival to introduce audiences to their latest collaboration, Treacle Jr.
The film salutes an unconventional friendship, beginning when depressed, middle-class Tom (Tom Fisher) walks out on his wife and baby and heads to London.
He is attacked whilst sleeping rough and regains consciousness in casualty where he is befriended by the affable, irrepressible, endearingly child-like Aidan (Aidan Gillen).
Gillen and Thraves talked to Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, about their hopes for Treacle Jr and the importance of taking it to film festivals such as Glasgow.
You Instead, director David Mackenzie's latest film, is a flirty, freewheeling romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Scotland's annual T in the Park music festival.
Luke Treadaway and Natalia Tena star as Adam and Morello, lead singers of two acts trying to make it big at 2010's T in the Park. When the pair are forced to spend 24 hours together, frustration eventually gives way to acceptance and the stirring of genuine feelings during a long night's journey into day.
Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, met with Treadaway and Tena to discuss making the film in just four days in 2010 and their desire to play on the main stage once more.
Ahead of his appearance at Glasgow Film Festival 2011 with his new film, Balibo, actor Anthony LaPaglia sat down with Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, to discuss the project.
Robert Connolly's tense, disturbing thriller Balibo dramatises the true story of the 'Balibo Five'. In October 1975, Indonesia prepared to invade East Timor and the world decided to turn a blind eye.
In this short clip, filmed with a smaller camera than the main interview, LaPaglia explains the film's premise.
A longer version of this interview will soon appear on http://www.youtube.com/glasgowfilmfestival
Upside Down: The Creation Records Story documents the rise and fall of legendary indie label Creation Records.
Director Danny O'Connor spoke to Stow College's TV Production students about the process of making the film.
In Leon Ford's feature debut, Griff the Invisible, Griff (True Blood's Ryan Kwanten) is a bumbling office worker who serves as an easy target for a bullying colleague.
By night he takes to the mean streets of Melbourne to fight crime and save lives. The more exciting and fulfilling his time as a superhero, the more real life disappoints. Then, he meets beautiful, gauche scientist Melody (Maeve Dermody).
Can these two lost souls find true love in a world that fails to understand them?
Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, spoke to Leon Ford about the genesis of his feature debut and whether the world of big budget superheroes is calling him on to Hollywood.

Acclaimed British director, Ken Loach, arrived at the Glasgow Film Festival this week with his latest film, Route Irish.
Route Irish stars Mark Womack as Fegus, an embittered veteran of the war in Iraq.
The film begins in Liverpool in 2007 where he attends the funeral of Frankie (John Bishop), a close friend whose vehicle was attacked on Route Irish, the road from the Green Zone to Baghdad Airport. Discovering the truth about what really happened to Frankie forces Fergus to confront the painful realities of a brutal world and his part in it.
Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, spoke to Loach about Route Irish and his passion for Glasgow.

Scottish actress Shirley Henderson arrived at Glasgow Film Festival 2011 this week to introduce her new film, Meek's Cutoff.
Kelly Reichardt's drama tells the story of a group of 19th century settlers who find themselves stranded in the harsh conditions of the Oregon desert. They are faced with the dilemma as to whether they should follow the advice of their cavalier navigator Stephen Meek or to return along the path they came.
Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, met Shirley before the film's first screening to discuss filming in Oregon and whether Western fans will enjoy this minimalist take on the genre.
We recommend watching in HD where possible for optimum sound/picture quality.
Gen Takahashi attended the screening of his film, Confessions of a Dog, at the Glasgow Film Festival on Saturday 19 February 2011.

Joanna Hogg attended the screening of her film, Archipelago, at the Glasgow Film Festival on Saturday 20 February 2011.
Stow College's TV Production students captured the Q&A session after the film.
Harry Shearer is probably best known for his roles in Spinal Tap and The Simpsons but he was in Glasgow as a director to promote his documentary, The Big Uneasy.
The film screened on Saturday 20 February 2011 and explores the real reasons that Hurricane Katrina had such a devastating impact on New Orleans.
Stow College's TV Production students captured the Q&A session after the film.
The African Queen was shown at the Glasgow Film Festival on Saturday 20 February 2011 to celebrate the release of a newly remastered version and its 60th anniversary.
Angela Allen MBE worked as a continuity editor on the film and attended the screening with ITV's Fiona Maxwell, who was one of the driving forces behind the re-release of the film. They took part in a Q&A session after the film and Angela recounted her memories of working with Humphrey Bogart in the jungle.
The opening gala for the Glasgow Film Festival took place on Thursday 17 February with the UK premiere of Potiche.
The official Glasgow Film Festival film team from Stow College's TV Production course were there to capture the action and to find out what some of the party-goers thought of the film.
Angela Allen was the youngest continuity girl working in England when she was chosen by the legendary Hollywood producer, Sam Spiegel, to go to Africa to work with John Huston on The African Queen.
At the Glasgow Film Festival to introduce a new print of The African Queen, due to be released in UK cinemas on 4 March, Ms Allen here recalls how she came to work on the production.
She told Festival vlogger Jonathan Melville about working conditions in the Belgian Congo and her memories of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, as well as her thoughts on the film today.
By Festival vlogger Jonathan Melville
Moving away from The Simpsons and Spinal Tap to direct his first documentary, Harry Shearer's The Big Uneasy is a smart, well-argued critique of one of the most shameful moments in recent American history.
The film follows three remarkable people - the leaders of two scientific investigation teams, and one whistleblower - as they reveal the true story of why New Orleans flooded, and why it could happen again.
Here, Harry explained his reasons for making The Big Uneasy, his disgust at his country's response to a so-called "natural disaster" and how he hopes President Obama takes some time to watch the film.
By Festival vlogger Jonathan Melville
Actor Colin Morgan may be best-known to TV viewers around the world for his role in the hit BBC series, Merlin, but for his new film he left the character far behind.
Premiering at the 2011 Glasgow Film Festival, Island is based on Jane Rogers' acclaimed novel. It's a haunting tale in which Colin plays the lonely Calum opposite Natalie Press as Nikki Black.
Shortly after Island's premiere at Glasgow's Cineworld, we spoke to Colin about the film and about his return to the city - and the cinema - in which he spent so much time as a drama student.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Acrid, smoky air hung over downtown Birmingham and surrounding areas Tuesday morning as an inversion layer trapped pollutants in the valley, according to Jefferson County Health Department officials.
The air quality monitors in North Birmingham and Wylam recorded levels of particle pollution approaching levels considered unhealthy for sensitive groups: children, the elderly and people with respiratory disease.
Matt Lacke, a JCHD meteorologist, said that several days without wind and rain kept pollutants hanging around and the cool night kept the particle-laden air close to the ground, leading to the formation of the inversion layer. As the morning sun heats the atmosphere, air begins to rise and breaks up the inversion layer.
The inversion layer began to lift after 9 a.m. allowing the pollution to dissipate into the upper reaches of the atmosphere.
However, an air quality alert remains in place for this afternoon when temperatures approaching the 90s and a lack of wind are expected to lead to ground-level ozone pollution problems.
"It is a conducive weather set up for ozone to form," Lacke said.

The Indian Hills Improvement Association is asking the Evergreen Park and Recreation District to contribute more to the Indian Hills community.
For example, it is seeking $19,000 for repaving the faded parking lot next to the Indian Hills community center, which was built in 1923. The center is being rented less because of the condition of the parking lot, among other things.
The unmistakable sound of young voices singing patriotic songs wafted from the cafeteria at Elk Run Assisted Living on May 27 as part of a Memorial Day program that had the senior residents' toes tapping and voices singing along.
Forty-three second-graders from Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen showed their patriotism in the 40-minute program, in which they told a brief history of the United States starting with the colonization of America to Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, a public charter school, will be allowed to keep intact three temporary buildings and consider them permanent, on the condition the buildings be redesigned to comply with local architectural standards in 15 years.
RMAE officials and the county planning commission reached the agreement at a hearing May 26 at the Jefferson County administration building. The school has nearly 400 students in preschool through eighth grade.
You don't need a hard hat to build this home — but you might want to wear high heels. Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity will hold its Hard Hats & High Heels fund-raiser on Saturday, June 12 in Evergreen.
The event is extra important to Habitat in a year when fund-raising has been a challenge. Blue Spruce is building one home this year instead of two, but funds are still needed for the home of Tammy Marshall and her two children, Cody and Bobbie.
A spotlessly clean trash truck and a driver supplied by EDS Waste Solutions were the main attractions at a birthday party for budding environmentalist Connor Howe of Evergreen.
To celebrate Connor's 3rd birthday, his parents supplied a bevy of his friends, cupcakes decorated with gummy worms, pizza and soft drinks on the patio at their Hiwan home on Saturday. EDS showed up at 4 p.m. with a stately 15-ton trash truck, backed it up the steep driveway and parked it.
The historic Alderfer House is not only an icon of Evergreen's ranching history, it is a symbol of the astounding energy inefficiency of houses that are more than 50 years old.
Such old houses can be expensive to heat these days, as the current tenants, John Skeel and his family, are finding out after two chilly winters in the stately yellow wood-frame two-story built in 1945.
The house is part of the Alderfer Three Sisters Open Space Park on Buffalo Park Road west of Evergreen High School.
Colorful hot-air balloons filled the skies over Bergen Park on May 20.
Some had polka dots, some had letters, some were in bright shades of pink and green and blue.
The balloons were the handiwork of fifth-graders at Bergen Valley Elementary School. Working in groups of two and three, they made the balloons, which measured about 4 feet high and 3 feet wide, out of eight pieces of tissue paper and glue with a wire ring at the bottom.
For the kids, it was fun to make them, fill them with hot air and fly them.
All sites are open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• June 5 — Indian Hills Fire Department, 4476 Parmalee Gulch Road
• June 12 and 13 — North Fork Fire Station 1, 19384 Highway 126, Buffalo Creek
June 19 and 20 - Conifer High School, 10441 Highway 73, and Inter-Canyon Fire Department Station #3, 8445 S. U.S. 285, Morrison
• June 26 and 27 — Coal Creek Canyon Fire Department, 11583 Eden Road, Golden
• July 17 and 18 — Conifer High School, 10441 Highway 73, and Evergreen High School, 29300 Buffalo Park Road
The American Workers' Concert Series will return to the Evergreen Elks Lodge on May 21.
The producer of the event, local percussionist and voice-over artist Keith Riker, said the turnout of 350-plus locals at last year's show "really gave us the drive to get it going again here for our hometown friends."
The performance includes more than a dozen local musicians, including singer-songwriters performing original songs and covers of music that speaks to the struggling American worker.
The snow falls in big fat globs of collected flakes. Wet and sticky, it is collecting rapidly on trees, shrubs and what few perennial herbaceous plants have had the nerve to put forth new shoots already.
It is May, and one would expect to see May flowers blooming, but alas, they are not. At least they are not blooming in any numbers. This is our seventh month of winter, and I am not happy to see more snow falling. However, such weather is expected in springtime Colorado where cold arctic air bumps into warm Gulf Coast air fairly regularly.

BROOKFIELD - Trustees signed a contract with a team from Youngstown State University on Wednesday to begin a feasibility study about combining their police forces with those in Hubbard Township and Hubbard city.
"It's the first time in the state of Ohio," Dr. Ron Chordas said. "We're like the guinea pigs on this."
Chordas is the executive director of the Center for Urban and Regional Studies, the Youngstown State University department that is heading up the study with money that Brookfield received from a $27,000 grant from the state. The Hubbard trustees and council passed resolutions approving the study that will take place over the next 180 days.

Brookfield trustee Gary Lees, left, signs the contract with the YSU team studying merging Brookfield, Hubbard city and Hubbard Township police departments.
Before signing the contract, trustees sat down with the YSU team and police Chief Dan Faustino to discuss their expectations for the study and specific questions they would like to see answered. From the transportation of criminals to which courts will process them and how differing regulations will be enforced, the feasibility study aims to do the research to tackle these questions.
"We don't want any loss of service," Faustino said.
Faustino said that he is grateful for the opportunity. The labor intensive study might have been too much for his department to handle.
"You owe it to your residents to at least research this," Faustino said.
Dan Mamula is part of the YSU team and was brought on because of his previous position as mayor of Struthers.
"I admire their willingness to try," Mamula said.
Trustee Gary Lees said he is ready to get the study underway in hopes of finding a way to provide excess police forces.
"I'm very motivated with this," Lees said, "It's a real big step with all three entities."
During the discussion, Trustee Ron Huan addressed the hesitation that the public might have about losing their independent police departments.
"People are afraid to lose their identity when we talk about things like this," Trustee Ron Haun said. ''But if you're doing a better job for your residents overall, that question goes away.'
Chordas said the first step is gathering information about the police departments.
"I have no apprehensions because I don't have to implement it," Chordas said. "The feasibility study is the easy part."

"Person" means an individual, corporation, government, governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, association, joint venture, or any other legal or commercial entity.That's N.C. 66-152(2), part of the Commerce and Business Chapter in state law. It seems to have been written in 1981 under Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt and a Democratically controlled state legislature.
Something to remember this year when/if North Carolina Democrats bash Mitt Romney for an off-hand remark the state codified 30 years ago.
Update: Some have noted other sections in NC and federal law identifying corporations as people, including Gerry Cohen, the NC General Assembly's head of legislative drafting. It was not my intent to portray this post as a comprehensive review of this issue, nor was I looking to assign blame.
My point is simply that Democrats have signed off on the idea that the law should treat a corporation like a person, much as Republicans have.

What starts as an intriguing story about love and politics in pre-Castro Cuba quickly bogs down in a tedious, cliché-ridden muddle. Sean Connery plays a soldier of fortune hired to help rid the island of Fidel's guerrillas. Brooke Adams, his onetime lover now married into the Cuban oligarchy, is unhappy because her husband, Chris Sarandon, is a philanderer. Sean soon distracts her from that problem. Then as the Batista regime crumbles he tries to get her out of Cuba. At this point the movie begins to resemble a James Bond thriller with tank fights and other pyrotechnics. Director Richard Lester's customary sure touch lapses into moralizing. Castro's troops are portrayed as saints, while Batista's are all nincompoops and worse. The photography by David Watkin is superb—the movie was shot in Spain, and it's lushly beautiful. And there are two fine supporting performances. Denholm Elliott plays a British gunrunner with a lovely mix of cynicism and swagger, and Lonette McKee is convincingly sluttish as a factory worker. The rest of the movie would qualify it as the worst ever about Cuba if Omar Sharif's Che! hadn't been there first. (R)
