The work of one of Glasgow's most-famous film directors will be celebrated through an outdoor cinema next month.

Glasgow Botanic Gardens is inviting film-buffs to enjoy 'Bill in The Botanics' on the big screen from August 17 to 20.

Four classics by Glasgow’s own Bill Forsyth will be screened at the Gardens following a successful pilot outdoor cinema last summer.

That Sinking Feeling, Comfort and Joy, Gregory’s Girl and Local Hero will be shown on a massive screen for all to enjoy.

Byres Road & Lanes Business Improvement District have organised the event to connect the community with the vibrant businesses and people of Glasgow.

The outdoor screening will be a celebration of independent culture and provide an alternative night out for residents.

David Howat, Chairman of Visit West End, said: “If ever there was a film that could make you laugh and cry, it’s the iconic ‘Local Hero’.

"Being a native of the West End, we thought it was a great opportunity to pay homage to one of Glasgow’s best directors.

“After the phenomenal demand from last year’s Botanic screenings, we can’t wait to bring these movies to the big screen, that were directed by one of Glasgow’s own and filmed across the city.

"They really are a celebration of Glasgow and Glaswegians.

“Make sure your reserve your ticket, organise your friends and family and get set to revel in the splendour of the Botanics and a spot of cinema gold.”

All films will be shown at 9pm each evening and run from Thursday, August 17 until Sunday 20 August.

Tickets cost £3 and are expected to sell out. Book tickets online here.
