@Scare158Steve @FilmFanStevie @glasgowfilmfest @letterboxd I have no intel but I think someone will pick it up soon after the buzz it has gotten.

@_ChrisKumar_ @FilmFanStevie @glasgowfilmfest @letterboxd Gutted I missed Nirvana. I hope it gets some sort of release.

The Friendliest Film Festival….. As always it was an absolute joy and pleasure attending this years @glasgowfilmfest #GFF26 So many memories I’ll treasure and so many incredible films there. My Top Twenty films from #GFF26 on @letterboxd

@Scare158Steve @glasgowfilmfest A pleasure as always Steve - so nice to see you and hopefully catch you around before GFF27!

@_ChrisKumar_ @glasgowfilmfest Thanks so much to you & the whole team for a great couple of weeks. Already keen to book mt hotel for next year!

Another @glasgowfilmfest in the books. My 9th festival! So many highlights - amazing events across the board and the best two screenings of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie that are now firmly core festival memories. The best job and the best team - GFF forever and always ❤️

@Scare158Steve @glasgowfilmfest @glasgowfilm A pleasure as always Steve. Hope you get home safe and see you next year for some more great films.

Waving goodbye for another year to @glasgowfilmfest . In the last 13 days ive seen 55 films @glasgowfilm (53 festival) Just the closing gala of California Schemin & the party to come before I head off home. Tks to @_ChrisKumar_ & the team for a fantastic 2 wks. See ya next year

@SlightlyNewer @glasgowfilmfest That is dedication - I am glad the screening met your expectations!

@_ChrisKumar_ @glasgowfilmfest Echoing the comment from Callum, thank you so much for your efforts on getting this for the festival. Travelled a combined 14 hours there and back from Cardiff on the weekend and it was completely worth it just for the crowd alone. Will definitely be returning to Glasgow!

Managing to programme Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie for @glasgowfilmfest will forever go down as a core festival memory. Two sold out screenings in our 400 seater screen, electric atmosphere, the cheers, the laughter and the applause is what it’s all about

Also big shout out to my boy Matt Johnson for the incredible introduction - can’t wait to have him back in Glasgow soon.

Sometimes film programming can be tough but the feeling in those screenings this weekend has filled my heart and left me buzzing for what’s next.

On this day in 1999, Jimmy Eat World released their album, Clarity. The rest is history. Here's the band performing "Blister" in Atlanta, Georgia, in June, 1999

@Scare158Steve @glasgowfilmfest It’s a lot of fun!

Looking forward to seeing this @glasgowfilmfest

@FilmFanStevie @glasgowfilm @glasgowfilmfest Great! It’s so much fun - can’t wait for people to see it

@_ChrisKumar_ @glasgowfilm @glasgowfilmfest Thank you for your recommendation for the Nirvana film. That secured it for me

A huge huge thank you to the wonderful and amazing staff at @glasgowfilm for helping me book all my tickets for this years @glasgowfilmfest See you at the end of February for the opening night film #GFF26

@FilmFanStevie @glasgowfilm @glasgowfilmfest Incredible dedication - love to see it

@_ChrisKumar_ @glasgowfilm @glasgowfilmfest With the retrospective films, it’s 55 films.

@stevenbrodie82 Not sure about a wider UK release at the moment so if you want to see it in the cinema, this is the time!

@_ChrisKumar_ Oh man, i didn't think this was gonna come out. I might have to sacrifice some sleep and come see it on the 1st cos I've not seen anything about a wider release.

Finally, the @glasgowfilmfest programme has dropped and I am so glad to have it out there. Below are some of the films that I am most excited for people to see:

OBEX - Albert Birney (Strawberry Mansion) directs and stars in this lo-fi adventure epic that sees a simple man have to enter a video game in order to rescue his dog. Shades of Eraserhead with some amazing visuals thrown in - I had a lot of fun with this.

Sinsin and the Mouse - Directed by Yukinori Makabe (Love, Life and Goldfish, GFF22) this is a change of pace as a young woman travels to Taiwan in the wake of her mothers passing and bonds with a local man over their shared grief and loneliness. Very moving!
