Child-friendly films moved to Glasgow’s main festival.
Child-friendly programming will see a big cut at the 2015 Glasgow Youth Film Festival (Gyff), in what its organisers have labelled “a radical shake-up.”
Gyff is the only film festival in Europe entirely curated by 15- to 18-year-olds, and for its seventh year organizers have relegated most child-friendly films to the main Glasgow Film Festival in order to focus on “audacious” youth cinema.
The event, which runs from February 6-8, will include the Scottish premiere of sci-fi thrillerThe Signal, which stars Laurence Fishburne and Olivia Cooke, and a special screening of the Channel 4 series Glue alongside a Q&A with its cast and crew.
The line-up also includes a world cinema programme, with German thriller For No Eyes Onlyand sci-fi anime Time of Eve.
Local teenagers have worked together over six months to choose the line-up, guests and events at the festival. Sean McInally...

Festival runs at the Babylon cinema on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Mitte from Feb 8-18.
The Berlin Independent Film Festival has unveiled the lineup for its second edition.
Taking place at the Babylon cinema on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Mitte, the 17-strong feature lineup includes Eddie Mullins’ Doomsdays, Ricky Rijneke’s Silent Ones, Tali Barde’s For No Eyes Only and Andrew McGeary’s The Warehouse.
