The Glasgow Film Festival is back in 2017 for its thirteenth edition – and the full programme has just been announced. There's a packed and extremely diverse programme on offer north of the border, with a stonking 310 events in total, showcasing 180 films from 38 countries – including nine world and international premieres, three European premieres and 65 UK premieres.

Terrence Malick's Voyage Of Time: Life's Journey; Raoul Peck's I Am Not Your Negro; and Cate Shortland’s Berlin Syndrome are among the UK premieres – but GFF have always been adept at the slightly leftfield screenings and events – and this year is no exception. There's a 30th anniversary screening of Cajun noir classic The Big Easy, followed by a live gig from blues band Hoodoo Bayou; a 35th anniversary screening of John Carpenter classic The Thing in the appropriately frosty setting of a ski slope; and a 30th anniversary screening of The Lost Boys, in association with your favourite movie magazine, Empire.

Elswehere, Julian Barratt, Simon Farnaby and director Sean Foley will be in attendance for the screening of their new comedy Mindhorn; director Ben Wheatley and cast members Michael Smiley and Jack Reynor will host Q&A after a screening of Free Fire; and legendary British director Terence Davies will be in attendance for his latest effor, A Quiet Passion.

The festival will run across multiple Glasgow venues from 15-26 February. Tickets go on sale to Glasgow Film Festival members at noon on Thursday 19 January and on general sale at 10am from 23 January; full details can be found on the Glasgow Film Festival website.
