Glasgow Film CEO and festival director Allison Gardner to retire

Glasgow-born Hollywood star James McAvoy will appear at a live in conversation event, looking back at his career which has included roles in X-Men, His Dark Materials and The Last King Of Scotland.

GFF25 marks the final festival for Allison Gardner, chief executive of Glasgow Film and director of GFF, after more than 30 years at Glasgow Film.

She said: “I cannot begin to say how excited I am by the brilliant programme we have curated; the breadth of films on offer genuinely has something for everyone.

“Everyone across Glasgow Film works very hard to make the magic happen and I cannot thank all my colleagues enough for their hard work, enthusiasm and sheer brilliance in making this not only a great festival to attend, but a friendly and supportive environment to work in.

“I shall be sad that this is my last festival as I’ve had so many magical moments over the years, but I know the great work we have done will ensure that audiences, filmmakers and industry colleagues will continue to support what I consider to be the best film festival in the world.”

This year’s Glasgow Film Festival will include premieres featuring stars such as Tilda Swinton.

Scottish premieres during the festival include Tilda Swinton and George Mackay in the post-apocalyptic musical satire The End and Scottish folk horror Harvest, set in the Middle Ages, which was shot entirely on location in Argyllshire and stars Caleb Landry Jones and Harry Melling.

GFF25 will also host a special world premiere screening of the first episode of new Amazon Studios-produced thriller Fear, shot in Glasgow’s West End and starring Martin Compston, Solly McLeod and James Cosmo, ahead of its UK release later this year.

The festival will close on March 9 with the world premiere of Scottish documentary filmmaker Martyn Robertson’s Make It To Munich.

It was shot in the run-up to Euro 2024 and follows Ethan Walker, a promising teenage footballer from Aberdeenshire who suffered life-threatening injuries in a road accident while months into a football scholarship at a university in the US.

However, he defied his injuries to cycle from Glasgow’s Hampden Park to Munich Football Arena for Scotland’s opening Euro24 match.

Isabel Davis, executive director at Screen Scotland, said: “This year’s GFF programme is a very clear demonstration of the festival’s importance to the local industry, connecting our films and talent to the rest of the world and introducing world-class cinema to audiences in Glasgow, across Scotland and the rest of the UK.”

She added: “This year marks the end of the tenure of powerhouse Glasgow Film leader Allison Gardner, after over three decades.

“Congratulations to Allison and her team on this fantastic edition and on her tremendous legacy that will be felt for decades to come at GFT.”

Tickets for the opening and closing galas go on sale at 10am on Wednesday January 22.

Tickets for the full programme go on sale to GFT Cinecard holders at 10am on Thursday January 23 and on general public sale at 10am on Monday January 27 online from glasgowfilm.org and at GFT Box Office 0141 332 6535.
