About This Event

Samizdat Eastern European Film Festival returns for its 5th edition, bringing an ever-eclectic mix of some of the most exciting, powerful, thoughtful, weird and wonderful filmmaking from Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus to audiences in Glasgow. From cult classics to contemporary discoveries, animated oddities to intimate documentaries, expect Béla Tarr on 35mm, the return of our much-loved Animations of the Eastern Bloc and a spotlight on Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema. We’re also marking five years of Samizdat with a special 5th Anniversary Shorts Collection, digging into cinema and memory with Re-membering the Archive, and getting romantic with this year’s genre strand: LOVE STORIES: Eastern European & Caucasian Romance. Everything from kid-friendly classics to family foreign language and the latest blockbuster releases, Take 2 screenings at Glasgow Film Theatre will keep even the littlest film fans entertained!
