Drama First Cow and documentaries Tina and Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In – which was covered on the site earlier today – are all set to premiere at the forthcoming Glasgow Film Festival. Sir Alex and son Jason (who directed the latter film) will record a special Q&A for the festival, according to an official release.
GFF will host UK premiere of Tina (pictured), a revealing and intimate look at the life and career of musical icon Tina Turner, on 5 March. Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow will receive its UK premiere at GFF on 5 March, while Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In – a look at the life and legend of the Manchester United manager directed by his son, Jason – will have World premiere on 6 March with a special free screening.
John Magaro, Orion Lee, Toby Jones and Ewen Bremner are amongst the cast of First Cow, Kelly Reichardt’s film set on the Pacific Northwest, this time evoking an authentically hardscrabble early nineteenth century way of life. The film recently secured a release on MUBI for 28th May.
Tina is the ultimate celebration of a global superstar and an intimate portrait of a woman who overcame extreme adversity to define her career, her identity and her legacy on her own terms. From her early hits as the queen of R&B, to her record-breaking sell-out arena tours of the 1980s, Tina Turner draws back the curtain to invite us into her private world in a way she has never done before.
More on the festival as the event, which is entirely online this year, approaches.
