59th New York Film Festival early bird highlights Futura, Jane By Charlotte, James Baldwin: From Another Place and The Velvet Underground
Festival coverage
6 February – 8 February 2015
Glasgow's Youth Film Festival has come of age, and after years spent as part of the Glasgow Film Festival it is now venturing out on its own. Aimed at teenagers and young adults, it packs in a host of great events alongside the films, with costume parties, a chance to meet the stars and a special focus on learning how to make films.
The film gaily sets about asking a number of questions it has no intention of answering.
Gaite Jansen is compelling in the central role, holding the film together with the sort of assurance that's rare in actors twice her age.
Rok Biček's film shows that the drive to go against the grain can have as much to do with running with the pack as with embracing individuality.
There are many scenes delightful to young children which older viewers will find shallow and gimmicky, whilst the younger ones will be left puzzled and bored by the strange romance between Sarah and her enemy.
George Romero has stated that he loves this film. It's easy to see why.
