A new strand of events at Glasgow's film festival is to celebrate its fecund relationship with cinema.

The Cinema City strand will include a new exhibition about 80 years of cinema going history in Glasgow as well as the world premieres of a documentary about Glasgow author William McIlvanney and a new feature film about Barlinnie Prison.

The events will also include walking tours of notable sites in Glasgow cinema history, and a cast-and-crew reunion screening of the classic Glasgow drama Small Faces.

The exhibition, Jeely Jars and Seeing Stars, will be at the Mitchell Library.

The ABC venue will be transformed back into a cinema A Night At The Regal, celebrating its former life as the ABC Regal, one of the city's oldest silver screens.

Screenings in the programme include world premieres of David Hayman Jr's directorial feature debut, Wasted Time, and William McIlvanney: Writer Resurrected.

Allison Gardner, co-director of Glasgow Film Festival, said: "Our festival has always been inspired by Glasgow's character, wonderful venues and unique atmosphere.

"This year, we wanted to pay tribute to the city, and encourage our visitors to get to know it better.

"We're delighted to be working with McKinlay Kidd on this strand: they really know how to show visitors the best of Scotland, so we're honoured that Glasgow Film Festival has inspired an exciting new holiday."

Jeely Jars and Seeing Stars will run from February 12 to February 28.

The eleventh annual Glasgow Film Festival will run from February 18 to March 1.

The full programme will be launched on the evening of January 21.
