Glasgow Youth Film Festival has announced its programme for 2015.
Now in its seventh year, it is the only film event in Europe curated by teenagers.
The three-day line-up boasts cutting-edge sci-fi premieres, late-night cult classics, a special pop-up closing gala, and a stellar set of films, workshops and events throughout.
Young programmer Kirsty McKechnie, 16, said: "Some of the films we've chosen address issues faced by young people all over the world; some of them are just great examples of filmmaking involving young people and their concerns."
The festival kicks off on Friday February 6 with the Scottish premiere of eerie sci-fi thriller The Signal, which stars Laurence Fishburne and rising star Olivia Cooke.
On Saturday 7 there will be a special panel event and screening with the cast and crew of hit Channel 4 series Glue.
As 2015 is Glasgow's Green Year, the team will take over BAaD (Barras Art and Design) at the famous Barras Market for one night only on Sunday 8 February, turning it into a fantasy wilderness for special themed pop-up screenings of cult favourites Jumanji and Labyrinth. There'll be a forest-party atmosphere, live bands and food to close out the weekend.
Young programmer Sean McInally, 16, said: "I'm delighted that we've a great film like The Signal as our Opening Gala - I think 2015's GYFF is going to be the best so far."
