Girl – preview plus Q and A

Friday 17 November, 2023 – 8.30pm
GFT is welcoming back the wonderful Glasgow Film Festival 2023 opening gala title, Girl for a special preview screening before its much anticipated general release! Director Adura Onashil, who will be at Q&A after the film.
Mother and daughter Grace and Ama have established a deep bond that’s protected them from outsiders, but as they try to settle in Glasgow, things begin to change. Ama’s approaching adolescence and growing curiosity set off reminders of a past that Grace has been trying to erase. The comforting fairytale-like story that Grace has been telling Ama for years is shaken by the memories — their sheltered world begins to erode from the inside. To give them both a chance to really start living, Grace has to let Ama grow up.
If you didn’t catch it at the festival earlier this year, now is your chance. A stunning story with Glasgow right at its heart. With thanks to Studio Soho Distribution.
