Just checked - Film showings finished in Glasgow on 17 July, but Edinburgh definitely shows till 28 July. GFT Glasgow told me that it attracted good crowds (but not sell-outs) and if anyone wants to email to suggest further showings in future they are happy to consider ... |

Attention ABERDEEN and EDINBURGH - I've just been given news of the following ADDITIONAL showings next week by the film's distributors ... I saw it last Sunday ... it's heart-rending, unutterably tragic but must-see!
"Bobby Fischer Against the World will be playing for one night only at Aberdeen Belmont Picturehouse and Edinburgh Cameo, Tuesday August 2nd. Show your respects to Bobby and polish off your Sicilian defence whilst you’re at it!" |
