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

Our children have had experience of learning about different film genres with different themes as well as meeting real-life people who work in the industry and can share their skills and expertise. The children very much enjoyed the experience of the Screen Machine. Maxie in P6 said, ‘I think it was a good idea to have the Screen Machine and the choice of film (Japanese anime) was suitable for all ages and made everyone laugh!’ Julie Dinwoodie, Cromarty Primary School Headteacher
