LandxSea is making waves.
In 2025, our festival was featured across Scotland, from national headlines and radio airwaves to local front pages and indie cinema screens. With over 2.5 million media impressions, our stories reached audiences who care about the arts, the environment, and the future.
Whether it’s a front-page feature or a quiet moment on the air, we’re proud to share the voices, ideas, and films shaping a more hopeful world, and to offer our partners meaningful visibility across trusted platforms and new communities.
“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
