Poor Things plus Introduction

Sunday 18 August, 2024, 6.50 p.m.

Introduced by Rodge Glass, novelist and Alasdair Gray’s biographer.

From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes an incredible adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s landmark novel. The story tells of the fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.

Year of Celebration at GFT

2024 marks 85 years since the cinema (originally the Cosmo) was built, 50 years since GFT was founded and the 20th edition of Glasgow Film Festival.

Whilst the box office and bar sales only cover around 50% of our annual costs and help keep the film reels rolling, they rely on donations and fundraising to run their education and community activities. So need your help!

Celebrate 50 years of GFT by donating £50 at checkout. A £50 donation also secures your seat at a special January screening. Find out more or donate Your contribution matters.
