The Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) has announced its 2019 lineup and — in news that’s most welcome considering the Oscars failed to nominate a woman director again — most of the films competing for its only award are helmed by women. As the fest revealed, six of its 10 Audience Award nominees are features from female filmmakers. The honor is presented to a film from a first- or second-time director.

“Alone At My Wedding,” Marta Bergman’s story of a Romani woman who becomes a mail-order bride, and “The Feeling of Being Watched,” Assia Boundaoui’s documentary about FBI surveillance in her Arab-American Chicago community, are up for the prize. Also competing are Carmel Winters’ portrait of a young female boxer, “Float Like a Butterfly”; Agnieszka Smoczynska’s thriller about an amnesiac wife and mother, “Fugue”; “Real Love,” Claire Burger’s drama centering on a single father and his two teen daughters; and Ash Mayfair’s “The Third Wife,” the tale of 14-year-old May, who is about to become the third wife of a wealthy man in 19th-century Vietnam.

Plenty of other women-helmed pics will screen at GFF 2019 as well. Among them is the world premiere of “Connect,” Marilyn Edmond’s directorial debut exploring depression and suicide in a small Scottish town. Annabel Jankel’s “Tell It to the Bees,” focusing on the romance between two women in the 1950s, is among the fest’s other offerings, as is Carol Morley’s Patricia Clarkson-starring existential murder mystery “Out of Blue.” The latter has been selected for the fest’s CineMasters section, a celebration of filmmakers “who set the benchmark and push the envelope.”

The 2019 Glasgow Film Fest will run February 20-March 3. Head over to the festival’s website for more information.
