Glasgow Youth Film Festival (6 – 8 February) presents its new weekend takeover format with a focus on teenagers and young adults, featuring gala screenings, premieres, late-night cult classics, workshops and a closing Green Extravanganza. A festival for the young, or the young at heart. (We’re sure no one will ever be too old for 80s fantasy Labyrinth or the truly magical Jumanji).
From the multi-talented actress-writer-director Tamar van den Dop comes this captivating, coming-of-age arthouse drama. Dutch teenager Meis and her family live a seemingly stagnant existence. Meis’ parents met when her father’s car crashed through their living room window and, following numerous other collisions, the family are waiting tensely for the next arrival. Meis spends a sticky summer reading smutty romance novels, brooding about philosophical wonderings, and waiting for the big bang. A dreamy and compelling tale of one girl’s sexual awakening.
‘A bold arthouse drama detailing one girl’s transition into adulthood. Stunning visuals and strong acting in this quirky coming of age tale.’ Stella, 17
