A POP-UP cinema event hosted by Glasgow Film Festival will be expanded across the city as it celebrates its cinematic reputation.

The event will see a variety of venues included, from the Drygate Brewery to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed church, Mackintosh Queens Cross.

The festival has also teamed up with the Glasgow IMAX for three events which will take place over the course of the screenings February 18 to March 1.

The Cinema City strand of the event will pay tribute to Glasgow's role as a backdrop in Hollywood movies, such as World War Z and Cloud Atlas.

This year's festivalgoers have also been promised the chance to vote for the winner of a brand new award to be presented at the closing gala.

The Audience Award will be presented to one of the 10 films by either first or second-time directors that have been nominated in a bid to showcase up and coming talent.

Audiences are also guaranteed to be the first to witness more than 40 new films, including the European premiere of the festival's opening film, While We're Young, starring Ben Still and Naomi Watts.

Other highly anticipated films are also a part of the festival's 11th programme, such as the UK premiere's of the closing gala movie, Force Majeure and Still Alice, a film which is expected to earn Julianne Moore a leading lady award at the Academy Awards next month.

Allan Hunter, a co-director of the festival, said: "It's a huge honour for GFF to be chosen for the European premiere of Noah Baumbach's bittersweet delight While We're Young, and Ruben Ostlund's Force Majeure is an utterly brilliant film.

"Home and away, this is a festival for everyone who loves the movies."

Tickets for the festival go on sale on Monday January 26 at 10am.

The Glasgow Youth Film Festival is also making some changes.

The event will now last for a whole weekend, taking place from February 6 to 8.

And it is not the only festival to be extended as this year the Glasgow Short Film Festival will now take place over five days, from March 11 to 15.

Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Europe and External Affairs said: "It's fantastic to watch Glasgow Film Festival continue to grow and continue to create innovative, world-class programmes."
