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 Fest transforms Montrose into a hub for bold environmental storytelling. Our 4th annual edition will take place 11–13 September 2026 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.

At the Festival, we curate a small, powerful selection of films about climate, nature and place-based stories, with a strong interest in Indigenous perspectives, land rights, and communities on the frontline of environmental change. Our audiences come ready to think, feel, and get involved, and our aim is that the work stays with them long after the credits roll.

Alongside screenings, the Festival brings together:

• ground-breaking environmental films and inspiring guest speakers
• local assemblies, community conversations, and beach swims
• schools screenings, creative workshops, and family events
