The Glasgow Film Theatre has announced a special celebration of the fillms of Joel and Ethan Coen.
CineMasters: The Coen Brothers will screen some of their best known titles, including the Academy Award winning No Country For Old Men on 35mm; a new digital restoration of the Director’s Cut of their debut, Blood Simple, as well as Raising Arizona, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Fargo.
As part of the Glasgow Film Festival, it will host a special event, The Big Lebowski – A Night of Bowling on February 27 to marks its 20th anniversary.
The showing of the film will be paired with an evening of bowling at the Hollywood Bowl Springfield Quay.
The full Glasgow Film Festival 2018 programme will be announced in January 2018.
Rachel Fiddes, GFF manager, said: "Our special screenings of big screen classics in unique venues are always some of the most popular events at the Glasgow Film Festival.
"Previously we've screened The Lost Boys at a theme park and The Thing on a ski slope, so The Big Lebowski in its natural habitat is right up our alley."
Tickets for both CineMasters: The Coen Brothers and GFF Presents: The Big Lebowski – A Night of Bowling will be on sale from glasgowfilm.org and GFT Box Office from noon on 26 October 26.

Thousands of people are expected to take part in Edinburgh’s biggest ever celebration for Diwali this weekend.
The Festival of Lights – which symbolises victory of light over darkness and good over evil – is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains across the globe.
Edinburgh’s Diwali will be a free celebration of live music and dancing at the Ross Theatre in West Princes Street Gardens.
It will be headlined by six-time number one artist in the Asian Charts, singer Navin Kundra.
The set will culminate in a 20-minute display of fireworks, over 2,500 sparklers and 300 handcrafted lanterns lighting up the night sky at 7pm.
Beforehand, a Diwali parade will perform through the streets of the city centre, featuring hundreds of lanterns and traditional decorated floats of Gods, from Ganesh (the Elephant God) and Hanuman (the Monkey God) to Shiva.
The parade will step off from the City Chambers and head to Castle Street before making its way to West Princes Street Gardens.
Led by hundreds of local school children and Pipers from the Royal Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, there will be a lantern-lit cavalcade featuring multicultural performances from Indian, Highland, Salsa and South African dance acts.
