The ICO is proud to be partnering with Film Hub Scotland and Glasgow Film Festival to offer a Hub-based Screening Days event on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 February 2015 at Glasgow Film Theatre.
Screening Days are preview film screening events for staff and volunteers of cinemas, mixed arts venues, film festivals, and film societies. This event will showcase key art-house and independent titles scheduled for theatrical release between March-May 2015 and a focus on films with a cultural interest to Scotland.
Watch films to help plan your programme, network with fellow exhibitors and find out about Film Hub Scotland’s activities for film exhibition.
Film Hub Scotland is part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network (FAN). Its role is to work with film exhibitors across Scotland to extend film choice, increase and broaden film audiences, and enhance opportunities for audiences to engage with and learn about film.
