Travel with us from the shores of the North Sea to the banks of the Niger Delta, across Bolivia’s salt flats and onto Greenland’s sea ice. Search dense pine forests for owls, plunge into open water and glimpse some of the remarkable people, places and stories coming to LandxSea this September.

It's here! 🎉 The 2026 Montrose LandxSea Film Festival programme is now on sale with select early bird screenings available to book, and details of some of this year's incredible special guests.

The team have concocted a truly epic, three-day weekend filled with films of every flavour, from as far as Nigeria, Iraq, Bolivia and Croatia, as well as homegrown cinema from exciting, Scottish and UK filmmakers.

This summer, for the first time, we're popping up at PoP Shop Montrose for a week of exciting activities and preview events for all ages, offering locals a taste of LandxSea Film Festival ahead of our September programme! 

From 16–22 August, we’re taking over PoP Shop on Montrose High Street with a lively week of film-inspired workshops, talks, drop-ins and beach activities for children, teenagers and adults. 

This June, part of our LandxSea Monthly programme of powerful films about people and planet, we're screening TIME & WATER by award-winning director Sara Dosa (Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, FIRE OF LOVE, 2023). An epic, emotional personal story from the glaciers of Iceland. 

LandxSea Monthly returns with György Pálfi's HEN from Conic films. 🐔

Told entirely from the perspective of its avian protagonist, HEN follows a chicken who escapes an industrial farm only to find herself navigating the pecking order of a crumbling seaside restaurant in Greece.

Get to know David Hughes, the second of our two new Trustees at LandxSea, joining us to support us on governance, strategy, and oversight, helping us steer the ship as we grow the festival.

We’re looking for compelling films exploring environmental challenges, innovative solutions, and the many ways people and nature shape one another. Whether it’s a gripping documentary, an artistic short, an experimental piece, or a powerful narrative, we're here for it 💚

We're delighted to introduce you to Nancy Dionne, the first of our two new Trustees for LandxSea, who will support us on governance, strategy, and oversight, helping us steer the ship as we grow the festival:

We're looking for new people to help shape the festival.

As LandxSea grows, so does our need for brilliant people to guide, support, and help steer the ship.

We’re currently recruiting for two key volunteer roles: Charity Trustees and Festival Committee Members.
