Thursday morning at the Glasgow Film Festival saw a surprising number of people admitting that they’d never seen Chinatown. Doing so on a big screen was a great way to start the day, and they certainly saw what the fuss was about. It opened a day of morally challenging films that really got audiences talking, though they didn’t manage to scandalise people the way Elle and Original Bliss did earlier in the festival. Troubling Romanian tale Graduation made quite an impression; director Cristian Mungiu recently told us that he sees it as a story about consciousness and honesty, with lots of different levels – and documentary Angry Inuk surprised a lot of attendees by prompting them to change their minds about seal hunting, an issue they had considered morally straightforward, as it explored the impact of bans on Inuit communities.

Under Executive director Roger Durling, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival has flourished by riding the awards season wave via starry onstage interviews with Oscar contenders.
Every year, screenwriters, directors and producers promote their causes on panels, and the likes of Jeff Bridges (a local), Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, Denzel Washington, and Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams submit to in-depth tributes from Leonard Maltin and Pete Hammond, among others. This year I had the pleasure of a wide-ranging conversation with Best Actress Oscar-nominee Isabelle Huppert. (See video excerpts below.)
And Saturday, the festival wound up its 32nd edition by handing out its annual jury prizes. All eleven are listed below.
The Audience Choice Award went to Yonatan Nir’s “My Hero Brother,” which also took home the Best Documentary Award. It tells the story of a group of young people with Down syndrome who embarking on an arduous trek through the Himalayas.
