The third edition of Samizdat, Scotland’s film festival dedicated to cinema from Eastern and Central Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, is filled with little-seen classic gems and new releases. Based mostly in Glasgow, it kicks off next week across the CCA and Glasgow Film Theatre from 1-5 October, with a second daylong pop-up stint in Summerhall on 19 October.
There’s plenty to discover in the programme: there’s the groundbreaking 1934 film Uzhmuri, the first Caucasus feature directed by a woman which imagines a mystical world on the verge of extinction; The Touch, a 1989 hidden gem from the Kazakh New Wave; and an incredible shorts programme including Animations From the Late Eastern Bloc (1980-1997) screening in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Browse the full programme here – tickets are either fixed price or, at CCA screenings, on a sliding scale.
