G lasgow Film Festival's gone a wee bit techno for 2019, and we're very into it. With the adaptation of Kieran Hurley's Beats set to close the festival, JD Twitch tells us about the music behind the coming-of-age 90s rave film, as well as his brand new label (page 18). Turn to page 18 for all our GFF coverage, which includes interviews with Jonah Hill (page 24) and Stephen Merchant (page 22), as well as info about all the special events taking place this year (page 63).
Elsewhere in the city, there's the Glasgow International Comedy Festival which features appearances from Garrett Millerick (page 32) and Gráinne Maguire (page 34). Plus, Professor Brian Cox stops by the Hydro (page 42), and Aye Write! (page 55) and the Glasgow Short Film Festival (page 27) are back in town. Edinburgh's got some pretty great stuff going on too with the new Robots exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland (page 53), Puppet Animation Scotland's annual manipulate festival (page 38), the Warhol & Paolozzi retrospective at Modern 2 (page 100) and the world premiere of BalletBoyz's Them/Us (page 94).
Neo-classical wunderkind Nils Frahm is back on tour with a new set of shows, which take him to both Edinburgh and Glasgow this month (page 76). Other musical highlights include the new Hebridean Dark Skies Festival in Lewis (page 36), the return of Polish metal band Behemoth (page 79) and excellent releases by Angel-Ho, Mercury Rev and Andrew Wasylyk (page 82).

to picture right now but it's coming! Until then, stay cosy and enjoy the months ahead.
GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL The eyes of the movie world turn to Glasgow once again as the city's film festival delivers 12 days and nights of top-flight cinema. The 1990s gets a special airing through both the opening and closing movies: Mid90s is Jonah Hill's directorial debut while Beats brings Kieran Hurley's play about Scotland's rave culture to the big screen. And for those who like their movie experiences a bit titchier, we also take a wee look at the Short Film Festival.

GLASGOW COMEDY FESTIVAL Once the city's festival film fun is done, the laughter gas gets released over Glasgow crowds with the likes of Reginald D Hunter, Julian Clary, Des Clarke, Lolly Adefope, Larry Dean and Janey Godley doing their comedy thing. BRIAN COX Oldham's former keys man for 90s popsters D:Ream gets set to bring his popular science rollercoaster to the Hydro. The good professor tells us that you don't have to be a 'weird boffin' to get ahead in the world of particle physics.
