More Than Movies. A Movement.
Film has the power to spark change, and at LandxSea we use it to do just that.
Since launching in 2023, Montrose LandxSea Film Fest has grown into a dynamic platform for environmental education, action, and creativity. We use the power of film to inspire audiences, spotlight urgent issues, and build community - one screening, conversation, and splash in the sea at a time.
Whether we’re welcoming primary school pupils for their first Q&A, platforming bold international premieres, or connecting audiences to grassroots climate organisations, we believe storytelling can make a real difference.
Here’s how we’re measuring the difference the festival is making, and where we’re headed next. 2025 LandxSea Impact Report →
Annual Film Festival
Each September, the LandxSea Film Festival transforms Montrose into a hub for bold environmental storytelling. Our 3rd annual edition took place 12–14 September 2025 at the Montrose Playhouse — a community-owned, state-of-the-art cinema on Scotland's northeast coast, and finalist for BIFA's UK Cinema of the Year 2025.
Year-Round Programmes
But you don't have to wait for September. LandxSea Monthly is our year-round screening strand, bringing festival favourites and timely new films to the big screen.
