A new strand of events at Glasgow's film festival is to celebrate its fecund relationship with cinema.
The Cinema City strand will include a new exhibition about 80 years of cinema going history in Glasgow as well as the world premieres of a documentary about Glasgow author William McIlvanney and a new feature film about Barlinnie Prison.
The events will also include walking tours of notable sites in Glasgow cinema history, and a cast-and-crew reunion screening of the classic Glasgow drama Small Faces.
The exhibition, Jeely Jars and Seeing Stars, will be at the Mitchell Library.
The ABC venue will be transformed back into a cinema A Night At The Regal, celebrating its former life as the ABC Regal, one of the city's oldest silver screens.
Screenings in the programme include world premieres of David Hayman Jr's directorial feature debut, Wasted Time, and William McIlvanney: Writer Resurrected.
Allison Gardner, co-director of Glasgow Film Festival, said: "Our festival has always been inspired by Glasgow's character, wonderful venues and unique atmosphere.
"This year, we wanted to pay tribute to the city, and encourage our visitors to get to know it better.
"We're delighted to be working with McKinlay Kidd on this strand: they really know how to show visitors the best of Scotland, so we're honoured that Glasgow Film Festival has inspired an exciting new holiday."
Jeely Jars and Seeing Stars will run from February 12 to February 28.
The eleventh annual Glasgow Film Festival will run from February 18 to March 1.
The full programme will be launched on the evening of January 21.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
