Film festival? In Glasgow? You either go to Cannes, or Cannes comes to you.

Hello there!

That time of the year is back again. Film festival in Glasgow. It runs from 20 February - 2 March 2014 with a packed programme! 10 days full of new experimental movies, documentaries, even old movies as Ratatouille, to have an option to enjoy them again and fall for sentimental atmosphere.
Tickets are surprisingly very affordable, so when you live in Glasgow, you have no excuse for missing out on this event.
If you struggle with money though, what, let's be honest, happens very often when you are a student, there are couple of free events as well, just remember, there is not always enough tickets, so you will need to come earlier.

 I went to see one of the free events on Friday 21.2., called Close Up on Casting, where Kathleen Crawford was talking about castings and how people become famous. Very interesting, very informative, and if you are planning career in film industry, you could gain real insight into one of the most important aspects of the film making process.

Everyone will find their personal favourite. I can guarantee it. From speaking about writing video games to watching war documentaries, all of you guys will find something worth to watch.

So do not hesitate, if you are in the area, come and tag along!

Social media a.k.a Hello world!

Social media are all around us. People in my age grew up surrounded by them. I personally, use them every day for longer that I should admit. My only excuse is, that I live far away from home and Skype is the only way, how to contact my family. I can Skype with my mum for at least 5 hours per day and we do not even have to talk. I go to the kitchen to cook, or I do my school work, or I just watch a movie. My mum is in work, so she has her own stuff to do. We are used to not to live together, I moved out many years ago, but I like to feel that I am close to her and that is what Skype allows me to do. Then it is Facebook. I am not a big fan of Facebook, because I still believe that my private life is just mine and I do not feel the need to share every my step with my 160 friends. Well, friends. I travel a lot and I used to live in many countries, so Facebook allows me to stay in touch with them, see how they are doing, what is new in their life, without me talking to them every day. I mostly use it for making parties or getting an invitations for them, stalking, or checking on my school page. 

I made my Twitter account couple of months ago. I still do not understand how and why to use it, but I follow Ellen DeGeneres and she is funny, so that makes up for everything I guess. 

Blogging is my next step to get deeper into the social media world. This blog is mainly going to be about film scene in Glasgow, because I currently live here and study, and I need this for my school.
So thank you for reading and welcome!
