It's the news fans have been waiting for - Glasgow's Keanu Reeves film festival is set to go ahead next month.

The original KeanuCon was scheduled for September 2018 but had to be postponed due to the Glasgow School of Art fire.

But now the two-day event celebrating the most triumphant Wyld Stallyn himself will make a return to the Centre of Contemporary Arts.

Europe’s first Keanu Reeves film festival debuts on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday 28.

KeanuCon features nine films over two days, including My Own Private Idaho, Speed, The Matrix, Constantine, Keanu’s directorial debut, Man of Tai Chi, and John Wick.

There will be a rare screening of Keanu’s first lead role in a Hollywood feature, Permanent Record, accompanied by an even rarer outing for his film debut in the National Film Board of Canada short, One Step Away.

The weekend closes with a double bill of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, followed by a live performance from Wyld Stallyns.

Weekend Passes are on sale via Matchbox Cineclub’s online store here.
