Sound & Vision Drive-In Summer 2020

Glasgow Film Festival and Electric Frog  Music and Movie Drive-In

30 July– 9 August, 2020

Two of Glasgow’s best loved festivals are joining forces to create a special movie and music drive-in taking place in July. Sound & Vision Drive-In is a unique collaboration between Scotland’s creative electronic music and film festivals: Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) and Electric Frog.

VENUE: Direct Parking, 55 West March Road, Paisley, PA3 1BF
(Nr. Glasgow Airport)
SCREENING DATES AND TITLES

Due to take place at the Riverside Museum, the drive-in will host a series of events which will include iconic music movies, lesser-known GFF gems, live performances, DJ performances and also one or two classics from Glasgow Film Theatre, the home of Glasgow Film Festival. 

On-site food will be provided courtesy of the multi award-winning Big Feed.

This event will be carried out in accordance with the government guidelines regarding distancing and safety.

Sound & Vision Programme

Drive-In’s headline act is our Sound & Vision film selection which celebrates the special relationship between music and film with a packed programme including: Stop Making Sense, revered as the king of concert films capturing Talking Heads live at the top of their game in 1983; GFF19’s Closing Gala Beats, the screen version of Kieran Hurley’s award-winning coming-of-age drama set in 1990s Scotland, as teenage best friends have one last big night before the Criminal Justice Bill puts an end to rave culture in Scotland; and timeless cult classic Purple Rain, easily one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time.

Allison Gardner, Glasgow Film CEO and Co-Director of Glasgow Film Festival, said:

“We know lots of people have been missing watching films on the big screen while Glasgow Film Theatre, like all cinemas across the country, has remained closed during the health emergency.

“We are working hard to be ready to welcome everyone back when the restrictions are lifted and, meantime, this special collaboration between our brilliant film festival, GFF, and Electric Frog will give film-fans a taste of the movie magic they have been missing.”
