This year's Montrose LandxSea Film Fest, 13-15 September, was a roaring success! From incredible films to top-tier discussions, we didn't want the weekend to end. Read more in our Festival Wrap Report.

A heartfelt congratulations to our two 2024 Award Winners, Finding Bo, which won the inaugural North Light Award for excellence in Scottish environmental filmmaking, and Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story, which won the Audience Award as decided by you. These two films highlight the connection of humans and animals with beauty, incredible storytelling, and a love for nature which could be felt across the cinema.

Thank you to all our sponsors, filmmakers, volunteers, and cinema-goers who helped to make LandxSea 2024 happen. The festival is a community, and we are so glad you are a part of it.

LandxSea is Scotland's first dedicated environmental film festival, which launched in September 2023. Rooted in the coastal town of Montrose in North East Scotland, our festival presents an annual September weekend filled with ground-breaking climate-focused films, guest speakers, and thought-provoking discussions, along with special events throughout the year. Our focus lies in exploring the complex connections between land and sea, showcasing a diversity of environmental narratives from a multitude of global perspectives. The festival is hosted in the heart of the town at the community-owned Montrose Playhouse, a state-of-the-art multi-screen Cinema & Arts hub that opened in 2021.
