VISUAL ART Burns Unbroke
Glasgow will once more prove that it’s a worthy home to one of the finest film festivals in the UK. This year’s GFF opens with Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs and closes with Nae Pasaran, a documentary which recalls the 1970s workers of East Kilbride who showed solidarity for the people struggling under the cruel Pinochet regime in Chile. Plus, there’s anniversary screenings (every day) of Groundhog Day, the excellent Sound and Vision Strand, featuring Nico biopic Nico, 1988 (pictured) and a slew of UK premieres and events. See features, from page 17. Various venues, Glasgow, Wed 21 Feb–Sun 4 Mar. The art strand of this multi-disciplinary festival seeks to show that the spirit of Robert Burns is still vibrantly alive, featuring the likes of Graham Fagen, Bridget Collins, Douglas Gordon, and the Chapman Brothers. See preview, page 92. Summerhall, Edinburgh, until Sat 10 Mar.
