Founded in 2023, Montrose LandxSea Film Festival is Scotland’s dedicated environmental film festival, held annually in Montrose, a coastal town in Northeast Scotland.
At the heart of our programming is the deep connection between land and sea, featuring a diverse selection of films that explore the changing environment and our place within it.
Every September, the LandxSea Festival brings together ground-breaking climate-focused films, inspiring guest speakers, and thought-provoking discussions. The 3rd Annual Montrose LandxSea Film Festival will take place 12-14 September 2025.
In April 2025, we launched LandxSea Monthly, a year-round film series at the Montrose Playhouse showcasing bold environmental storytelling from around the world, including exclusive previews and festival highlights. Next Up: A New Kind of Wilderness – 1 May at Montrose Playhouse.
Our festival home is the Montrose Playhouse, a community-owned, state-of-the-art cinema and arts venue which opened in 2021.

Montrose LandxSea Film Fest 2024 (13-15 September) was an incredible weekend of films, discussions, and community! Highlights include sold-out screenings, local voices, and our beach dook - we couldn't have done it without you!
Thank You to Our Festival Partners
LandxSea wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, filmmakers, volunteers, and audiences.
