This year Glasgow Film Festival is working hard to provide content warnings for all of this year's films. Warnings can be found beneath the synopsis on each film listing on both the Glasgow Film website and Glasgow Film At Home.
Content Warnings are written notices of any potentially triggering or sensitive content, with a particular emphasis on themes/images that could worsen the physiological and psychological symptoms of PTSD, C-PTSD and Anxiety. While Glasgow Film acknowledges that it is impossible to account for all triggers, we believe that our Content Warnings will provide ample warning of the more commonly acknowledged triggers.
Our Content Warnings are not intended to censor filmmakers, nor to dissuade audiences from engaging in challenging, thought-provoking content. They are intended to help audiences make informed decisions, and to adequately prepare themselves for any potentially sensitive content. We see this as part of our duty of care, and as an extension of our access policies.
