Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra - part of the Dream Teams strand
The first strand announcements have been made for February's Glasgow Film Festival, and perfect screen pairings are at the forefront. "Chemistry is everything when it comes to creating the perfect screen couple: when audiences sense that electricity they want to see it again and again," said festival director Allan Hunter. "Dream Teams on the Silver Screen celebrates the very finest Hollywood duos, individuals who made cinema history together in unforgettable classics."
Expect to see pairings like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers; Doris Day and Rock Hudson; and Paul Newman and Robert Redford. All films in this strand will be free, though if previous events are anything to go by, you'll need to book early. Tickets will become available in January.

Glasgow Film Festival (Gff) (Feb 17-28) has announced a new industry strand for its 12th edition.
Gff Industry Focus will bring together international film-makers, funding bodies and industry insiders for a two-day seminar within the festival programme.
It is aimed at offering benefits to Scotland’s film and television industry, and to visiting film-makers, and marks the first time that the audience-focused festival has developed an industry-specific programme.
