MORE THAN MOVIES. A MOVEMENT.

Join Scotland’s leading event for films and discussions that spark green ideas and action.

LandxSea is Scotland’s environmental film festival. Based in the coastal town of Montrose, we bring together inspiring new environmental films, filmmakers, special guests and audiences from Scotland and around the world.

Our annual festival takes place each September at Montrose Playhouse, a community-owned cinema and arts venue. We also present screenings, workshops and community events throughout the year, exploring our connections with land, sea and the living world.

Put Your Name on the Big Screen

Become a Friend of the Festival

This September, LandxSea will screen its 100th film. Become a Friend of the Festival and help us begin the journey towards our next 100 — and, as a thank-you, we’ll display your name on the big screen throughout the festival.

Already bought your tickets? Thank you — you’re supporting LandxSea. But ticket income only covers part of what it takes to make the festival happen. Friends of the Festival help bridge that gap, keeping tickets accessible while helping us bring exceptional films, filmmakers and events to Montrose.
