Last May, Glasgow Film Theatre celebrated its 50th birthday in a big way with a wide-ranging programme featuring classics, arthouse favourites and special 35mm and 70mm presentations. The celebrations proved such a success that the cinema is going to start having a similar shindig every May to mark its birthday. GFT’s programme manager, Paul Gallagher, explains that this now-annual birthday celebration will give the cinema a chance to reminisce.

Ruaridh Mollica is only 25, but he’s already a film and TV veteran. Born in Prato, just outside Florence, but raised in Leith, he fell into professional acting when he was 12 on a visit to Out of the Blue Drill Hall to try out for Strange Town Youth Theatre. “I went along because a few of my friends went there,” he tells me on the phone from his flat in Hackney.

The CCA’s winter closure has been a massive blow to Glasgow’s film scene, but with spring arriving its doors are reopening with a film that will knock cinephiles’ socks off: Vera Drew’s The People’s Joker, which hijacks DC Comic IP to tell a dizzyingly inventive trans coming-of-age comedy (1 Apr). The screening will be followed by a pre-recorded chat between Drew and comic book writer Grant Morrison, who has spent much of his career writing for DC.
