GFF 2023: Daniel Goldhaber and Daniel Garber on How to Blow Up a Pipeline

We've broken away from our usual recording schedule to visit the Glasgow Film Festival, which is currently in full swing. 

One of the most exciting films to emerge from the programme this year has been How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Daniel Goldhaber’s ticking time bomb thriller following an idealistic group of young people drawn from all across America who gather in Texas for a bout of sabotage on a key oil pipeline. 

While they were in Glasgow for the UK premiere of the film, we spoke to Goldhaber and editor Daniel Garber. 

Glasgow Film Festival runs 1-12 March, get full details and tickets at glasgowfilm.org
