GSFF director Matt Lloyd picks out a few more highlights from the 2015 programme • Jennifer Reeder is an independent i lmmaker from Chicago, whose latest i lm A Million Miles Away premieres at the Berlin Film Festival in February. We have the UK premiere of that, as well as some older works which demonstrate the mixture of dreamlike visual, occasional kitsch, and genuine emotion in
her work; it’s somewhere between Miranda July and David Lynch. CCA, Thu 12 & Sun 15 Mar. • There’s also a Daniel Wolfe masterclass. His feature-i lm debut Catch Me Daddy is screening at GFF (see review, page 61), and he’s very much an in-demand director for people like Plan B, Chase and Status, the Shoes, and he did Paulo Nutini’s ‘Iron Sky’ promo. He’s a real stickler for detail in his i lms. CCA, Fri 13 Mar. • Let Glasgow Flourish is two programmes of archive i lms about the city’s regeneration; we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of Clyde i lm, in which unemployed people in 1985 made quietly angry i lms about how they felt sidelined by the march of progress. CCA, Sat 14 & Sun 15 Mar. • A Wall is a Screen (pictured) is a guerilla mobile screening – which is to say, it’s a walking tour organised by a Hamburg team. The free event
takes audiences out on to the streets to see short i lms projected on walls in a location-specii c style. Starts at CCA, Sat 14 Mar.
• Strange Electricity Ultra- minimalist techno label Sähkö’s in- house documentary, screening on its 20th anniversary, is followed by live sets from Jimi Tenor, Golden Teacher, and a DJ set from JD Twitch. The i lm is sold out, but there are still tickets for the afterparty (see preview, page 69). The Glue Factory, Sat 14 Mar. 5 Feb–2 Apr 2015 THE LIST 25
