Also Glasgow screening times announced, tickets available online.

The forthcoming Scotland Loves Anime event has confirmed that its screening of K-On The Movie at the Glasgow Film Theatre on Saturday October 13 (available here) will be followed by a Q&A with the film's director, Naoko Yamada (pictured). She will be accompanied by Yoshihisa Nakayama, who produced the two television seasons of K-ON! Yamada will also appear in a live discussion of her work, plus another Q&A, on Sunday October 14 at 1 p.m.

As well as the K-On feature film, Yamada directed both television seasons of K-ON!, and has numerous animator credits on such titles as Clannad and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
