“When award-winning filmmaker Anthony Baxter first moved to Montrose, there wasn’t a cinema to be found between Dundee and Aberdeen. But now, thanks to the Angus town’s state-of-the-art, community-owned Playhouse, it’s become the ideal spot to host Scotland’s first ever climate-focused film festival. [...] A key element of the festival is making it available to all. After all, the climate crisis affects everyone on the planet.” ~ The Sunday Post
