Another jam-packed collection of film glories comes to Glasgow. Alongside opener Handsome Devil and closer Mad to be Normal (starring David Tennant), the Sound and Vision strand features Lost in France (pictured), the story of Scotland’s vibrant 90s indie music scene. Plus, we’re partnering with GFF on their Modern Families strand, which includes Oscar- nominated animation (and our cover) My Life as a Courgette. See feature, page 17. Various venues, Glasgow, Wed 15–Sun 26 Feb.

THEATRE Manipulate
One of the most highly-anticipated movie sequels of all time, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge make it seem as though the key quartet of Sick Boy, Renton, Spud and Begbie have never been away. Loosely based on Irvine Welsh’s follow-up novel, Porno, friendship and betrayal are deep in the heart of this tale in which Edinburgh has never looked so lovely yet lurid. See review, page 58. Out now. The visual theatre festival produced by Puppet Animation Scotland offers up many highlights in its final days, including Jordan & Skinner’s Sanitise (pictured) and Pickled Image’s Coulrophobia. Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, until Sun 5 Feb.
