Scotland Film Event Highlights – March 2015

Club Noir, the world's biggest burlesque club, brings a touch of glamour to the Grosvenor this month (22 Mar) with a special double bill showcasing two of Hollywood's most beautiful leading ladies, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. The evening's entertainment includes screenings of Some Like it Hot and To Catch a Thief, a buffet and two burlesque acts by members of the club's troupe. Guests are invited to don their finest attire for the event, so dress to impress.

If you like your sexy movies with a bit more gothic horror, head to the GFT for Daughters of Darkness (24 Mar). This 1971 European film, an intriguing combination of arthouse style and exploitation sleaze, follows a couple of newly-weds through their encounter with the most famous female vampire of them all, Countess Bathory. Written and directed by Belgium's enfant terrible Harry Kümel, this erotic, violent film has alternately been praised as a masterpiece and dismissed as trash – see it and decide for yourself.

All Night Horror Madness returns to the Cameo in Edinburgh (21 Mar) and Grosvenor (28 Mar; programme TBC) with five nightmare-inducing films (if you dare to sleep, that is!), a selection of vintage trailers and a raffle. At the Cameo, be impressed by the incredible FX work in John Carpenter's The Thing, be grossed out by Slugs: The Movie, and enjoy some unintentional comic relief during Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Controversial horror Child's Play is also showing, with a surprise movie rounding off the features, four of which are being screened from 35mm prints.

Several venues around Glasgow are screening films as part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. At the Grosvenor, Robin Williams' finest comedies are being showcased, including Mrs Doubtfire (15 Mar) and The Birdcage (22 Mar). Cineworld is a slightly unexpected venue for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (20-21 Mar) – but who said sweet transvestites can't visit the multiplex? At the Govanhill Baths, political satire In the Loop (20 Mar) and mockumentary Best in Show (21 Mar) – think Spinal Tap at Crufts – are sure to keep audiences laughing. Check glasgowcomedyfestival.com for the full line-up.

At the DCA in Dundee, artists Michael and Florian Quistrebert have chosen to screen Gasper Noé's Enter the Void (10 Mar) to coincide with their exhibition Visions of Void. The artists' work on show at the DCA is a collection of abstract videos and paintings, perfectly complemented by Noé's hallucinatory Tokyo-set fantasy drama – why not go see both?
