CONTENTS 4 FEB – 7 APR 2016 | LIST.CO.UK
W e’re saluting the Coen brothers this month as their latest fun-fest Hail, Caesar! opens this year’s Glasgow Film Festival in February (it’s out everywhere in March). It kicks off a thrilling programme, which includes Charlie Kaufman’s latest, Anomalisa, Palme d’Or winner Dheepan, and some pretty amazing events: Con Air in a secret location anyone? And if you fancy seeing Trainspotting, Scream or From Dusk Till Dawn in IMAX, now’s your chance: vote for your favourite at list.co.uk/gff16, and turn to page 17 for all of our GFF coverage.
In March, the Glasgow International Comedy Festival brings a host of top funny talent to the west, including Romesh Ranganathan, who chatted to us about hitting the TV big time (page 27). Later in the month, Hinterland marks the start of the Festival of Architecture at St Peter’s Seminary near Helensburgh (page 36). And the Edinburgh International Science Festival starts a little earlier than usual at the end of March, so don’t miss out on that (page 33). Plus, there’s some great new restaurants opening both east and west: read more on page
44, ahead of the release of the 23rd edition of The List Eating & Drinking Guide in April.

GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL Not only one of the finest film festivals in Europe, GFF is also a pearl of diverse attractions. As well as the banner headline likes of Joel ‘n’ Ethan Coen and Charlie Kaufman, the city lays on the cream of Argentine cinema, pairs up some cinematic dream teams, keeps it brief with top film shorts, goes large on classic IMAX screenings, keeps the geeks happy via Nerdvana and scares the devil out of us with FrightFest. 38
GLASGOW COMEDY FESTIVAL After the winter just gone, we all need a dose of the chuckles. Let Romesh Ranganathan, Rory McGrath, Shappi Khorsandi and a bunch of Scottish comics help you laugh it up. BRITISH ART SHOW 8 The touring exhibition parks the bus in Edinburgh with plenty of thought-provoking work across the city from the likes of Rachel Maclean and Linder Sterling.
