Glasgow Film Festival, 85A and the Glue Factory present a very special showcase of the mind-bending work of experimental Czech filmmaker and artist, Jan Svankmajer.
Jan Svankmajer’s iconic and surreal short films screened in specially designed and elaborately anarchic mini-theatres within Glasgow’s Glue Factory venue will be the order of the evenings entertainment on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th Feb. The Friday night also promises an after-party disco till the small hours. This is definitely one of many highlights of the Crossing The Line strand of this year’s film festival and we think, if you’re in Glasgow, you should go soak up the work of a real genius and adventurous visionary in suitably madcap environs.
You can get tickets for the event by emailing 85Acollective@gmail.com – Just request the number of tickets, day, concession type, name and a contact number and they’ll get back to you. Or alternatively pop into the finest independent record shop in the city, Monorail in Kings Court and buy tickets in person.
