Cromarty Film Festival 2023

For the first time - in 16 years - an all-female team is leading the Cromarty Film festival. We offered a flavour of things to come with our events on 3rd + 4th December. Now the main activities are taking place from 24th-26th March. To mark the festival's start and end, we’re hosting free projections on Cromarty Lighthouse. The programme has been thoughtfully planned to cater for every age and taste - we’ve got docs, shorts, classics, animation, anime, workshops, talks, brand new films plus a dash of comedic horror to keep everyone alert!

We start off the weekend with a special screening in the Screen Machine for the whole of Cromarty Primary School. We’re delighted to welcome new guests, project partners and festival benefactors on board. Delicious food and food trucks will be available with special offers to link in with certain films.

You can also read all about the festival in a special issue of Film Hub Scotland's Gazette.

We both had such a wonderful time at the festival. Brilliant mixed programme, and I wish I’d be able to see & do it all… Please, please run it again in future years! I met with Alasdair Nicolson last evening (I sing in his choir) and he was really interested in the festival. He is a composer & musical director for Orkney’s St Magnus festival and puts on all sorts of things, not just music. He was born on Skye, but moved to the Black Isle and went to school in Fortrose. How small is our world! Jane Hitchins, festival visitor from Kent
