Glasgow Film Festival 2011 - Music & Film

Posted: Wednesday 15 December 2010

Now in its third year, the Glasgow Music and Film Festival 2011 is a series of one-off events combining audio and visuals. It is lovingly co-curated by film buffs and music geeks from Glasgow Film Festival and the Arches, whose hand-picked, carefully curated programme of live events and films aims to strike the perfect balance between reverent celebration and future innovation in music, film and the culture that unites them both. The results range from the entertaining, to the inspirational, to the downright weird.

With highlights of the 2010 festival including Zombie Zombie's adrenaline-thumping interpretation of the music of John Carpenter and Thomas Truax's enigmatic tribute to David Lynch, 2011's festival pushes the creative ethos even further, with Goblin, Zombie Zombie, 65daysofstatic, Davie Scott, Duglas T Stewart, Lucky Dragons and many more being selected to interpret, rework and pay homage films such as The Wicker Man, Battleship Potemkin and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

The gigs will be complemented by a varied programme of music documentaries which will be announced along with the full Glasgow Film Festival line-up on 19 January 2011.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now.
