Home | Cromarty Film Festival

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.

Testimonials

We really enjoyed the festival and I thought the programme was just great and your wonderful cinema, the Screen Machine and the Lighthouse were such perfect venues. You might be interested to know our economic impact - we ate and drank our way around Cromarty, enjoying meals and drinks in The Royal, Sutor Creek, Cromarty Cafe, The Fishertown Inn and Black Pearl. We loved buying gifts in several of the great shops. I think we probably spent at least £350 locally not including our screening tickets. Festivals are so great for the local economy and I personally will be back for Christmas shopping! Becky Thomson, Film Sound Mixer & Designer
