The late Marvin Hamlisch, the musical genius behind hits such as 'The Way We Were' and 'Nobody Does it Better', plus countless Oscar-winning soundtracks, was destined for greatness at a ridiculously young age.

At six years old he already attended music school and by 31 he'd won two Oscars. Charting his rapid ascension from a child prodigy to becoming the toast of Broadway, Hamlisch's famous friends recount his greatest hits, and his occasional misses, with fondness and admiration.

Director: Dori Berinstein

When Salma, a young Muslim girl from a South Indian village, was 13 years old, her family locked her up for 25 years, forbidding her to study and forcing her into marriage. During that time words were Salma鈥檚 salvation. Against all the odds, Salma became the most famous Tamil poet: the first step to discovering her own freedom and challenging the traditions and code of conduct in her village. This film follows Salma, as courageous and resilient as ever, as she returns of her village and confronts the lives of the young women living there today.

We are delighted that Salma and director Kim Longinotto will join Adele Patrick, co-founder of The Glasgow Women's Library, for a special post-screening discussion of the issues raised in the film.

Generously supported by the British Council.

In recent years the Glasgow School of Art has created more Turner Prize-winning artists than any other cultural institution in the UK. It is also known for being one of the most iconic Art Schools in the world. The main building was designed by one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

This documentary, a 麻豆社 premiere, charts the ultimate architectural challenge: how do you design a building to sit opposite a Mackintosh masterpiece?

Director Louise Lockwood will join us to introduce the film and a special discussion will follow the screening.
