Oscar winning Scottish writer and director, Peter Capaldi, will premiere his latest film Strictly Sinatra in Glasgow this month.

Stars of the movie, like Brian Cox, Ian Hart, Kelly Macdonald and Alun Armstrong are expected to join Peter for the event.

Wonderful Film Life

A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, Peter's early film experience was as an actor with appearances in hit films like Local Hero and Dangerous Liaisons. His highly inventive short film - Franz Kafka's Its a Wonderful Life - won him an Oscar and now he is making his directorial feature film debut with Strictly Sinatra. It's a tale of a rather naive young Scots-Italian nightclub singer, Tony Cocozza (Ian Hart) who falls in with a group of notorious mobsters. Dazzled by tales of the gang's former Las Vegas lifestyle, in the 'glamour' of a local casino he meets Irene (Kelly Macdonald) a cigarette girl with a feisty charm. The two hit it off, but complications ensue when Tony ends up doing favours for the mob in the hope that his new found friends will help him achieve his dream of stardom.
