W es Anderson fans – it's finally Isle of Dogs time. We're over the moon that The Life Aquatic director's latest film is opening this year's Glasgow Film Festival in February (though if you miss it there, it's out on general release from the end of March). And there's plenty more where that came from at GFF – turn to page 17 for all our coverage, from Lynne Ramsay's new film with Joaquin Phoenix (page 22) to the epic School Disco at SWG3 (page 57).
It's busy times at the Hydro just now too, as Strictly (page 15), Kendrick Lamar (page 69), Jason Derulo, Sam Smith and Flight of the Conchords (page 36) swoop into town. Plus, we chat to Django Django ahead of the release of their third album (page 70), and catch up with Mae Martin, Mark Thomas and Brendon Burns before the Glasgow Comedy Festival (page 28). Aye Write! (page 49), Nils Frahm (page 76) and Glasgow Short Film Festival (page 25) are serving the city well this season too, but Edinburgh's got a few of its own highlights to contend with. Burns Unbroke takes over Summerhall until mid-March (page 92), the Gilded Balloon has plenty top comedy at its new Basement Theatre (page 52) and the Edinburgh International Science Festival returns for its 30th year on Easter weekend (page 47). Next time, we'll be saying goodbye to those dark winter nights and looking ahead to a busy
spring and summer of festival goodness. Until then!

GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL These two 'cute' pooches adorning our cover signal the brand new Wes Anderson cine-extravaganza but there are plenty other Glasgow Film Festival treats to get your tail wagging. Lynne Ramsay's new movie has Joaquin Phoenix on devastating form, Edith Bowman chats movies and music, and TV star Jessie Buckley discusses her decidedly dark big screen debut. Plus, we explore an overnight special at the Glasgow Short Film Festival.

GLASGOW COMEDY FESTIVAL Audiences in the west have plenty to get their laughing gear around in March with the likes of Brendon Burns, Mae Martin, Mark Thomas, Evelyn Mok, Tiff Stevenson (pictured) and David Baddiel all showing off their funny wares. FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS The music is just as important as the jokes in Flight of the Conchords' world as the Kiwi duo of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie swoop into the Hydro for a night of lo-fi rapping and smoochy yet awkward love songs.
